Another "trick" I sometimes use is replacing text-indent inside the blockquote with some vertical spacing between paragraphs (not a full line, something like 0.5em).

Ok, thanks. I'll give that a try. My div.block is the generic/common stuff, then I have add-ons, e.g., class="block letter". Since I'm mostly redoing PG books for my own use those are typically handwritten letters so I use italics as a sort faux handwriting and use a bit of vertical space between paragraphs and no indent.
