Right, that's the only generated block-level element that may contain
others.  Fact is, if `class` and `id` assignment come to Markdown,
there'll be strong temptation to exploit blockquotes this way.  Maybe
there *must* be a `<div>` shorthand.

I mean, a `<blockquote>` is just a `<div>` with explicit semantics.
Doesn't seem right to include semantically-hobbled divs and not the real
(and more useful) ones.

Just takes us a step further from purity.  But that's not really a
slippery slope, right?  There's nowhere further to slide.
