I'd like to note that e-mail ">" (also ":" or "|" are used!) is technically **not** a block quote. It's traditionally used for something completely different -- quoting the text we are responding to -- not for including quotations and excerpts from external sources. I've encoutered this style used for block quotes only 2 or 3 times in my life, and it was jarring and unnatural for me -- it seemed as if the author attributed the quoted text to me.
Much more widespread (among experienced users) and distinctive way of marking up quotetions in e-mail and news is the use of "+v" before the quoted text and "-v" after it, alone on a line. But I don't recommend
it for Creole.
Technical shortcomings make the ">" style practically useless for editable and automatically wrapped text on the wiki. It's awkward, adds a lot of user's work, looks ugly and has poorly readable. Personally I think it's unacceptable.
I don't understand why would you want to nest block quotes and how would it be presented on wikis that have chosen not to indent quotes, but instead use one of several other traditional ways of marking block quotes: different font, background, color, italics, decorative quotes. There is simply no such thing as a nested block quote.
