/* The blockquote displays in standards-compliant browsers with the "big quotes before"
* effect, and in IE with a thick left border and a light grey background.
* Unlike other blockquote techniques, this style does not require a nested block-level
* element (like p). As such, it turns a paragraph into an inline-styled element to keep
* the content from dropping below the quote. */
