I think I'd prefer the rend="block" over "display" just because it is a little more intuitive. Thanks for tracking that down Scott.
"display" is different from "block". A display is a chunk of text set off (displayed) from the rest usually by enlarging the left and right margins and inserting some top and bottom margins. A block is just a plain old block with nothing special to distinguish it from any block fore or aft. The HTML tag <blockquote> is just a bit misnamed.
I also found how to handle sidenotes since I wrote that original message.

This works only in HTML for now. Ideas on how to display it in TXT without wasting a lot of space? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
