I'm not suggesting that it should. I'm saying that blockquote can  
stand on its own without any p container, either inside or outside of  
itself. But WP won't let that happen (and this seems to be new  
behavior for WP - my blockquote CSS only broke with a recent update).  
WP is inserting unnecessary HTML that breaks a good number of CSS  
designs, and I'd like for it to stop doing that.
