The content model for <blockquote> is Flow content. Flow content includes "text". So, the text as a child of <blockquote> is valid. The spec says that a run of phrasing content (in this case, it is the text.) is a paragraph. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/content-models.html#paragraph So, the examples below have same semantics. <blockquote>This is a blockquote.</blockquote> <blockquote><p>This is a blockquote.</p></blockquote> The former is valid, but, of course, authers are encouraged the latter much more.
