How is it a stylistic choice? q is for inline quotes. blockquote is 
for block level quotes. The clue as far as I can see is in the name. 
Or are you really saying that you want to be able to do

	<p>The subject of this paragraph is <blockquote><h1>I'm an 
inline blockquote about horses</h1><p>horses that 
rock</p></blockquote> where horses are black things with four 
legs.</p>

Or are you saying that blockquotes should not have to contain block 
level container elements? And if not, what purpose does q serve?

Personally I think they are not the same structually and that your 
use of blockquote instead of q is a misuse of the element resulting 
in a fallacious example.
