Actually, I do. Since you can tell an opening quote from a closing one
by the position of the white space (or parenthesis, beginning/end of
line) near it, I think you can deduce the quote level. I may be wrong,
though.

"this is a "quote", and that's all you need to know" is as parsable to
me.
As a side note, at least in French, many typographers would recommend
"this is a /quote/, and that's all you need to know" here. Oh, and
I know that was just an example.
