Ok, a blockquote may have attribution. I think we have to
exploit that in QB. Maybe:

[:What say you? Will you yield, and this avoid?
Or, guilty in defense, be thus destroyed?
--William Shakespeare]

Should generate:

<blockquote>
<attribution>William Shakespeare</attribution>
<quote>
What say you? Will you yield, and this avoid?
Or, guilty in defense, be thus destroyed?
</quote>
</blockquote>
