Isn't embedding the style directly in the generated (x)html a mark of bad, uhm, style? I mean, it should be {{{<div class="mail-quote">}}} rather than {{{<div style="some arbitrary presentation that might not fit the overall style of the site">}}}. Then again, there is the question of users using browsers that are not CSS-enabled -- they should at least see that they are missing something.
I think that the spec should show a "good" solution, or just don't show any at all if no good solution exists. I see several possibilities:
* only say that the text should be rendered as indented,
* only say thet the text should be marked as a quotation, in any way, not necessarily by indentation (some styles might use colors or colored bars),
* generate the quted parts as a blockquote (with a class),
* generate the quoted parts as a single-element, unordered list with special class for styling (with a class),
* generate the quoted parts as a single-element definition list with empty 'term' part,
* generate the quoted parts as a div, but with the '>' left in the text, and removed with style,
All of these solutions have their pros and cons, as far as I can tell none is 100% "correct".
