Isn't an epigraph just a kind of blockquote?

Me neither.

For hypertext documents, wouldn't these both be adequately served by  
an HTML5 <nav> element?

"The nav element represents a section of a page that links to other  
pages or to parts within the page: a section with navigation links."

Perhaps epigraph, toc and index predefined classes could be used for  
further specializing <blockquote> and <nav> for these purposes.
