Blockquote color

I don't like how the blockquote color is in blue, the same color as hyperlinks. Why not keep it black? They already stand out by being indented, having the bar in front, and being in italics!

...and slantness

I would add that formatting blockquote in italics hides distinction between normal and italic of the original text.
In general, should not blockquote use only non-idempotent styles? :-)

Blockquote color

For the default theme, the blockquote color in comments has been changed slightly to differentiate it from the hyperlink color, and the italics have been eliminated.

This change also affects the marvin theme, although in that case, the color is still a bit ambiguous.

Note that this change affects two stylesheets, and some browsers (notably Firefox) cache these quite agressively. If blockquotes continue to appear in italics for you, you may need to clear your browser cache or quit your browser before you'll see the change.
