[TYPO3-RTE] making quotations easier

Hello list,
As far as I can see, there is currently no easy way in to mark text as 
quote ('blockquote' or 'q') in htmlarea RTE. For the purpose of 
increased accessibility as well as a clean, semantic markup, it should 
be easier to mark text as a quote ('q') or blockquote ('blockquote') - 
especially since quotations are not uncommon on websites.

Three things that could make an implementation a little bit challenging:
- <blockquote> requires that the iincluded text is enclosed with a block 
element, e.g. <blockquote><p>This is a quote</p></blockquote>.
- On the other hand, the <q> element requires to be enlosed within a 
block element, e.g. <p>The following text is a quotation: <q>May the 
force be with you!</q></p>
- Optionally quotations (be it either blockquote or q) can be 
referenced, e.g. <p>The following text is a quotation: <q 
cite="http://www.starwars.org/">May the force be with you!</q></p>

Would that be worth a feature request?

Cheers,
Ro
