I also often face this problem. I don't know much of how to make
a syntax highlighting mode for emacs, but AFAIU fontlock only works on
current line. For that reason, modes often re-implement their own
search-forward based fontlock system for quoted strings.

I guess the major mode should be fixed to detect what is a quote for
quoting string and what is not.

BTW, is this XHTML compliant ?
