IMO, this is an abuse of BLOCKQUOTE and HTML Tidy should not
encourage it by generating it. BLOCKQUOTE should not be used as an
indent tag. If the preservation of the list indenting is preferred,
a DIV STYLE="text-indent: 3em;" or some such should be generated
instead so as not to abuse a structural tag for an unrelated
presentational effect.
