That's what you think.

Nested BLOCKQUOTE seems a perfectly reasonable structure in English
and should be supported by lynx IMO.
Here's an example comparing two browsers:

n*tscape:
So closely entwined were some populated localities with
the tentacles of the VC base area, in some cases actually
integrated into the defenses, and so sympatheic were
some of the people to the VC that the only way to establish
control short of constant combat operations among the
people was to remove the people and destroy the village....
That it was infinitely better in some cases to move people
from areas long sympathetic to the Viet Cong was amply
demonstrated later by events that occurred when the
discipline of an American company broke down at a place
called My Lai.
--General Westmoreland in his memoir A
Soldier Reports, as quoted in The Tunnels of
Cu Chi, Mangold and Penycate, 1985, p 168.
"On 8 January 1967 the village of Ben Suc -- former population about
3,500 -- was wiped off the face of the earth."
p 165.

Lynx could use a little more indentation, perhaps as well.
