For purely semantic storage though, blockquotes sound like a good idea.

It was the caffeine suspensions that did it. This is largely archival, though any browser should be able to read it. And I think that your implication that I should not depend on the browser/reader is dead on. You
did imply that, right?
Didn't quote you, but thanks for the info that
blockquotes should only contain block elements. Didn't know that.

And you shouldn't use plain quotes for the same reason I think a single paragraph isn't enough (because they are just for short, in-line quotes).

I'm with ya, there. I am currently, however, trying
q tags for pull-quotes -- they
should be short quotes, after all.
And I went with
<blockquote class="Commentary"> for your after-discussion example. It should apply to other cases, as well -- such as old texts with discussion by later authors, such as Sun-Tzu's Art of War, for example. (Although, usually the readily available versions of that book don't include the commentary!)
