The three major US citation styles (MLA, APA, Chicago) use periods inside of the quotes.
IEEE style citations puts the comma on the inside.

None of these exactly match Plan 9 style, of course.
This has it inside, but I don't know when it was typeset.

General US writing style is to put punctuation inside of quotes, no matter if it was part of the quote.
My personal opinion is to have the comma outside if it's not part of the title.
standards are fun :)
Thanks,
Amavect
