I have certain classes in my template CSS file for offset text: text1, text2, text3, etc. They all have different formats, and it's very quick for me to add a number after "text" for the different formats I need for the offset text. My system is simple but very effective, fast, and the results are fantastic. I spent a lot of time coming up with the perfect editing process, and it was worth every minute I spent setting it all up. Your advice usually makes no sense to me, and it usually sounds like it would be much more time-consuming than my system. But thanks for trying!

Sorry, your now twice wrong. You way is not the best way as it won't work in all cases and as for the publishers, they make a great many formatting/coding mistakes. There's no reason at all not to use <blockquote> in most cases.
When you fix the justification my way in CSS, it's properly fixed for all classes. Do it your way and you could miss out some classes. Plus, you have to find all the classes to add in the code to justify. My wau, you just have to add in the code once. You still have to remove all the left justify code in either case. Adding in body if need be is trivial.
I have a shortcut setup in Calibre. All I do is type body and then hit control-j and my body and p classes as added in. I do have to dump the p class if the publisher added one. Otherwise I'll have two p classes.
