Why do you have to constrain it?

It is? How can <quote><p> vs <p><quote> (for example) be irrelevant?

Yes it would. Inline quote:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent
euismod. <quote>Integer condimentum, urna at feugiat mollis, nisl est
condimentum ante, eu elementum sapien turpis at risus.</quote>
</p>
p > quote { backgorund-color: #ccc; }
Two-paragraph quote:
<quote>
<p>Cras erat nisi, venenatis non, aliquet a, aliquam vitae, magna.
Nulla augue sapien, venenatis sed, elementum euismod, sodales in,
felis. Nam at magna. Quisque quis est vitae lectus accumsan
sagittis.</p>
<p>Quisque ornare lorem vel tellus vulputate egestas. Proin eu tellus.
Suspendisse potenti. Proin hendrerit lobortis nibh. Cras accumsan
libero et orci. Pellentesque tincidunt. Ut condimentum felis et
neque. Aliquam accumsan magna et sapien.</p>
</quote>

Hm, what would trigger those modes of pseudo classes?
