It appeared to me that you were trying to beaurocratic by trying to
invoke some rule about the presentation of HTML (that didn't actually
exist).

You can make a valid case that Lynx doesn't adequately identify block
quote *elements* nested within other block quote elements, but proposals
for how to improve this have to be based on first principles about the
design of text only user agents, with due consideration to limitations
like limited page width, no guarantee of colour, etc.; you can't do so
based on an edict from W3C, as there isn't one.
