I agree with Karl on the issue of broadening the use of <blockquote> for indentation. The strength of having several block types is that each block type has its special characteristics: Indentation, font type inheritance/replacement, preformatting, font size. Maintaining this flexibility with wider use of the <blockquote> would necessarily mean deeper <div><style><span> nesting which could get complex.
Why? No need to add a <div> - just emit a <blockquote>, with an optional class=... attribute when we want to distinguish the kinds of <blockquote>. -- --Per Bothner address@hidden http://per.bothner.com/
