Chris,
Sorry - I meant poetry not quotation marks. I've been using Unicode
quotations in UTF-8 instead of <<, < etc. I read somewhere that the Unicode
quotations in UTF-8 would not require osis markup, which would avoid the
problem nested quotes or quotes going across chapter or section divisions.
The original text does not make good use of quotation marks too which
requires this approach, as it often inserts an additional opening quotation
mark at each new paragraph within a quoted section, while only having one
closing quotation mark and the very end. I trust that using Unicode
characters will therefore avoid problems in osis and module creation.

You should be fine with that.
usfm2osis.pl will mark <<, <, etc. with <q>, but will leave any marks
encoded with actual quotation marks alone. Continuation quotation marks
like you describe shouldn't be a problem for usfm2osis.pl. It looks for
them and should mark them correctly.
It would be fairly trivial to make usfm2osis.pl also look for and mark
quotation marks (provided there are unique marks for right and left
quotes and provided that apostrophe is encoded differently from right
and left single quotes), but I haven't seen anyone clamoring for this
feature.
