Also, <span> did not work inside the blockquotes for italics. I think I am just going to drop the italics from any blockquotes and call it a day.
You really need to learn the HTML-CSS basics. (those apply to epub)

Not a 'naked' span for Italics. A Span with a style (<span class="<selector name here>" ) that contains font-style:italic;
eg (very basic usage)
Code:
.calibre3 {
  font-style: italic;
}
The same with a Blockquote. If it has a class=, then that selector, fine tunes /overrides the default. So calibre8 is not detrimental in itself, just unnecessary in some cases (where the device HAS reasonable defaults).
