Thanks vm!
Sadly, I have no way of telling the 4,000+ people who have downloaded my Markdown editor how they ought to compose and typeset their prose.
I'll let Robert Bringhurst know, though, and ask him to change Rule 4.1.5 of his Elements of Typographic Style from "include the initial quotation mark" to "rewrite your prose." ;-)

Yes, change/edit the text to avoid the quotation marks in the first place.
e.g. There are always better/simpler ways to achieve the story to be
told. Trace back to the underlying idea as why these drop capitals were
invented in the first place. Most likely to visually separate blocs of
mono colored bread text with the lead characters from the drawer below.
These days there are (better) alternatives to solve the issue of
separation text paragraphs.
(avoiding a problem instead of trying to solve it afterwards)
