Description
In § 5.1 Phrase & section boundaries:
Punctuation marks are usually center-aligned in the character frame in Taiwan and Hong Kong, while punctuation marks are positioned in the corner of the character frame on the side closest to the preceding text in the Chinese Mainland.
Strictly speaking, this is not true. In Mainland China, periods and commas are in the corner, while exclamation marks and question marks are not. While colons and semicolons are on the side closest to the preceding text, quotation marks and brackets are not.

Research direction
Start with § 5.1, “Phrase & section boundaries,” in the linked CLReq specification. Review the sentence about punctuation positioning and update it so the Mainland China distinctions reported in the issue are accurately represented. Done means the section no longer overgeneralizes the placement of all punctuation marks.
