Actually, the original post makes it quite clear that display:block is what
is desired:
<blockquote

That implies there is no text on the same line as the <math> element, either
before or after it, thus there is effectively a break desired before _and_
after, thus display:block.
Oh, and if you preferred just a break before, you could do that as well:
math:before { display:block }
