One difference between blockquote and div is that a blockquote cannot (if you want to comply with the standard[*], anyway) contain inline elements as direct children, it can only contain block-level elements.

So this is wrong:

Code:

<blockquote>Foo</blockquote>

but this is fine:

Code:

<div>Foo</div>

[*] I don't remember which standard, it might have changed in newer ones, but epub 2 still uses HTML 4 something.
