Description Don Brutzman 2010-01-03 19:18:27 UTC
4.5.5 The blockquote element

This section ends with

        "Note:  Examples of how to represent a conversation are
        shown below; it is not appropriate to use the cite and
        blockquote elements for this purpose."

However no examples are found there.

Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: They're much further below. :-) Follow the link. I've made it clearer. I also added another example of <blockquote> while I was at it.
