Oh yes, how obvious--I didn't even think to just make the -> --> --> 
markups implement <blockquote> directly.  Probably something along the lines
of:

$InlineReplacements["/^(-+)>(.*)/e"] = "str_repeat('<blockquote>',strlen($1)).str_replace('\\\"','\"','$2').str_repeate('</blockquote>',strlen($1))";

which will handle the nested blockquotes.

I'm also trying to come up with a good mechanism whereby others can
upload and maintain contributed PmWiki extensions (such as smileys)
for others to download.  Anyone have any suggestions?  SourceForge and
CVS are one option, but I suspect a lot of contributors will not be
comfortable with using CVS so we may need a simpler way of doing it.
