Well done BootNic, (I slap my forehead), and well done rf for
urling it with simple markup.

OK, folks, technical problem solved enough. Next question: What
would be a *reasonable* practical use for this?

<blockquote> and similar uses? I didn't actually test to see if
<blockquote> actually did this but it's one of the things I had in
mind when I asked.

It would be a bit odd to put in a blockquote that breaks up
around a float. It looks to me a bit confusing and goes against
the grain of the whole idea of it being a separate block. I know
I would design around this to avoid such a problem. Perhaps
others would feel different though?

What do you mean by "similar uses"? Hang on, are you not the OP?
Why are you needing to seem to guess? <g>

What is the real reason you wanted this (interesting enough)
technical problem solved?
