I'm only 80% sure. It's been a while since I last tried anything with mobipocket. For poetry, I used the "trick" of having a <P> for each line, so it looks like margins plus indents:
Code:
<P WIDTH="2em">"You are old, Father William," the young man said,</P>
<P WIDTH="4em" HEIGHT="0em">"And your hair has become very white;</P>
<P WIDTH="2em" HEIGHT="0em">And yet you incessantly stand on your head--</P>
<P WIDTH="4em" HEIGHT="0em">Do you think, at your age, it is right?"</P>
That gives a 2em margin, with further 2em indents in the 2nd and 4th lines.
Positive indents can also be emulated with ...

What about the WIDTH attribute on a <P> element inside a <BLOCKQUOTE> element? Is it ignored? Or are <p> elements just not allowed within <blockquote> elements?

I believe it was just ignored, as if the text were directly inside the <BLOCKQUOTE>, with no intervening <P>.
That is, of course, with hand-written pseudo-HTML code, converted to mobipocket directly with MobiPerl. Whatever kindlegen does with the source format, I don't know.
