| I don't know what `abuts' means.

To touch along a border.

| But I always thought the rule was if the whole sentence (or sub-sentence)
| is italic, the punctuation should be italic, too, but if only one word is
| italic, any punctuation directly before or after that word shouldn't be
| italic?

Okay, I suppose that I should have said that it is an American
typographical convention.  There are a lot of little differences between
American and European typography.  This is one of them.
