I have no idea what you mean by 'theoretical' in this context. I think most people would be surprised when you tell them that they can't use quotes in their paragraphs. Given that most people won't be using mark-up languages to create their documents, but either pen and paper, or word processors, they would quite naturally add quotes into their paragraphs, and use whitespace to separate them. But I doubt for a moment that most people would be thinking that by adding a quote they have added a brand new paragraph. So I think most people would be quite at home with the common-sense view of what can go into a paragraph.
