Placing commas in quotation marks should only be used for speech, not quotation (stupidly); otherwise, it would be hard to tell if a comma was always used after an "it's" or not.

From the link Chris posted: "My father always said, "Be careful what you wish for."".
Should the "b" in "be" be capitalized? Methinks not.

I'm going to stick with the americans on this one. They look ugly outside quotes. Plus when america invades and conquers the empire I'll already be using the right punctuation.
Meh. It's really just a matter of preference, as no-one really cares. Besides, if you're defining arrays or calling functions with strings, such as:
New Array("Hi", "there", "mister treesap");
then you're going to need the commas outside the quotation marks so the interpreter doesn't put commas in your strings; likewise, in writing, you should put commas outside them, to make sure you're not quoting any commas.
And it's separate
Edit: and Americans should be capitalised, naughty naughty
