I am drafting an extended verion of the HTML standard and would
like to know if anyone is using the <BLOCKQUOTE> element for quoted
paragraphs. This element has a name greater than 8 characters
which could cause problems with some SGML parsers.

Would anyone object if we changed the tag name to "QUOTE" ?

Cheers,
