I doubt this will ever be updated, since it's reference for a very specific, 20 year old, code interpretation related proposal und not meant for type setting.

But for anything related to contemporary typesetting on the web I recommend Practical Typography and especially the Type Composition chapter:

Including notes on quotes and apostrophes:
