Your code is OK, and works fine in Gecko based browsers. (Moz 1.7.3 on
WinXP) The problem is lack of support in IE for the content:open-quoute,
content:close-quote constructions.
While you should be commended for doing the utmost to separate
presentation from content, this is one area where poor browser support
dictates falling back on encoding the desired quote marks in the content.
BTW, you should check with a validator to see if <blockquote> is allowed
inside <p>. Not allowed in XHTML. Throws error about p not open in HTML.
