Description Michael[tm] Smith 2009-04-03 07:25:59 CEST

In my reading of the current spec at least, there are no constraint assertions in the spec which state that the blockquote element can't have header or address ancestors. Also for confirmation:

<MikeSmith> Hixie: does the current spec disallow blockquote as a descendant of header?
<MikeSmith> and as a descendant of address?
<Hixie> MikeSmith: not currently
