Coming to this discussion very late. Maybe this has already been resolved.
FormatBlock should be dumb. It should not try to think about what the
author's intended semantics are. It should work on all block elements and
should just do the simple changing of the block from whatever type it

What is IE's behavior in this case?
IE just ignores blockquote as an argument to formatBlock, same as if
you pass quasit or something. That matches my current spec, but
doesn't match any non-IE browser. Gecko and Presto

I think this particular argument should have next to no weight when

Sure. I'm just saying that it'll be hard for us to drop the support for
other elements in practice. I have no problem with spec not including
those elements.
Yes, I understand

I'm still skeptical that no web content depends on blockquote being

execCommand(formatBlock, false, foo) has the effect of replacing
the block elements with the given tag. For instance,
execCommand(formatBlock, false, p) executed on h1foo/h1
turns it into pfoo/p. However, browsers vary in what elements
they accept as arguments, more or less as follows:
