I could see the point with CODE versus PRE versus CODE as only child of
PRE as they have different kind of semantics.

don't really need BLOCKQUOTE for that. (If you want to quote a table
from some other source, perhaps, but then again, you could just alter
the Q element its content model.)

Mostly, except that they are underdefined at the moment. I assume that 
section is still being worked on?
