LYNX-DEV blockquote behavior |

In a discussion about HTML in Usenet, someone was saying that
<BLOCKQUOTE>..</BLOCKQUOTE> is ideally suited for quoting
attributed text. Then that person wondered aloud what browsers
which do not indent blockquotes would do with a nested
blockquote.
I had to verify that was legal with a validator before I would
accept it. WebTech's says it is good 2.0 so I guess it is.
Anyway, I decided to see what lynx would do with it:
<head><title>block test</title></head><body>
<blockquote>
foo
<blockquote>
bar
</blockquote>
baz
</blockquote>
</body></html>
That was rendered as:
foo bar baz
Anybody care to explain or defend that formatting?
