Hmm... this looks good! We wouldn't need another option and the user
could decide what he wants to do with the attributes set on a
blockquote. This could probably be generalized to other block level
elements.

If you don't mind writing a post-processor for your case I would
actually like to use this approach since it seems to be even more
general! Thanks for the great idea!!

Naturally, I have just implemented this and pushed it to the github
repo - please test it!
