Actually, I wasn't thinking of redefining blockquote as inline since I want
it to appear as a quotation both for sighted users AND for screen readers...
The only thing I might do is control the margins or make it look slightly
different in appearance. Other than that, I just wanted to make sure that
the CSS would not interfere with a screen reader and to see if their was a
better CSS way to define it for accessibility.
So I think what I'll actually be doing is:
<p>Foo, foo, foo</p>
<blockquote>quotation here</blockquote>
<p>yada, yada, yada</p>
Thanks for your help guys... :)
