A heading and first paragraph styles in CSS would have each their own margins (and a padding-top for anything first item in a file), if not text-align: center;.

The blockquote is really an HTML 3 or something throwback. It can have a useful semantic meaning and each kind would have its own CSS and thus margins.

If it's simply to have a different set of margins and maybe font, then a <p class="myquote1"> etc may be better.

I don't use blockquotes at all, usually. The different paragraph styles in the docx give different 1:1 CSS.
