BLOCKQUOTE is a current tag (It's in HTML4.0 even), but I don't believe it
does monospaced or preservation of < > & etc.

It's meant to mark up a large quoted division, as opposed to the inline <Q>
tag (which does nothing in either IE or Netscape, but is supposed to put
quotes around the text).

and that's just the way it is...
