Hi Robert,

I have set this on the hci-list () with more like this. See 
http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-team-hci/2006-June/000424.html. 
  I do think, this is an important point. Perhaps we should find ways to 
sponsor this?

Prosit, Uschi

> 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?
