Context would have mattered, but if I saw a <mark> within a quotation, I would have assumed that the text stemmed from the original source, and that the author of the current page had used <mark> to highlight an important passage within the quote. You, OTOH, seem to think that <mark> would be interpreted as a *textual* addition. That we don’t agree on the interpretation ought to be a hint that cannot be taken for granted, just by looking at the element, where the content of the element stems from and thus that there should be a *explicit* way for markup up that the content does not stem from the original quote. Since is is very common to edit quotes, such a thing ought to be quite useful. Proposal: A <note> or <annotation> element for marking up anything that does dot stem to the original source.
