No, that's not what the validator is complaining about — it's  
complaining about the *contents* of your blockquote. The content  
model for <blockquote> is roughly the same as the content model for  
<body>. In other words, in strict, any inline text needs to be  
wrapped in block elements, such as paragraphs.

That is, not:

	<blockquote>foo</blockquote>

but:

	<blockquote>
		<p>foo</p>
	</blockquote>
