I think a <blockquote> has default increased left/right margins even if you don't include any explicit CSS for it.

♪ Hello blockquotes my old friends,
I've come to use you once again...♫

Dang, I love blockquotes and I remember when we used to stack 'em, for old MOBI (KF7) format, to try to create any sort of indent, lol. One for the first-level indent, stacked for the 2nd...

Yeah, yeah, I know, this is the ePUB forum, but...just a quick trip down memory lane.

Oh, right the actual question--we slap paragraph tags around them inside the blockquote for safety (fallback, etc.). We figure, it doesn't hurt.

FWIW.
