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.
