Re: Proposing <indent> vs. <blockquote>

Think <b>, <i>, <strike>,.... all the effects of those can be  
achieved in a more
consistent way using CSS. If you have problems with the box model or  
indenting
of text, you should probably join the CSS working group.

HTML is (going to be) about semantics in the structure of the  
document. If it
weren't, we can deprecate <div> as well and go back to table layouts.
