True, that's a fourth step, but I think it's one Mobipocket Creator does more or less automatically upon save.

I just re-tested the blockquotes - I'm starting to think this must be a bug in Calibre related to the css styles you're using. I just tried using both <p> and <div> and both converted identically - and work fine - for me. This is my source:
Code:
<body>
<h1 id="heading_id_2">Blockquote Test</h1>
<blockquote>
<div>
First level indent
</div>
<blockquote>
<div>
Second level indent
</div>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p class="sgc-1">Using <p> tags instead:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="noindent">First level indent</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="noindent">Second level indent</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</body>
My guess would be that it's somehow related to the css margins you have defined. You'd need to open a bug with a sample file attached to see. Alternatively a fix got submitted for the 'ignore margins' option, which will be in the next release, so you could give that a shot, as it will ignore css margins but preserve existing blockquote nesting.

Calibre will automatically turn that into a superscript, so that's definitely not a bug. Unfortunately mobi doesn't allow any fine grained control of positioning and text size for superscript/subscript. The only thing that you could potentially do is wrap the superscript in <small></small> tags in mobipocket Creator for a small font size reduction - Calibre doesn't do this today.

The only reason I'm asking about this is there is definitely conversion code that should handle this, so it appears to be a limitation with the way you've defined sans-serif in your stylesheet vs. what Calibre is expecting.
