Keep in mind though, that this sHTML suggestion is based on accepting
that a video thumbnail being enough like a quote to use the <q>
element.  (I.e., accepting that a video thumbnail is a quote from a
video.)

If you don't accept that, fair enough.

But all this is based on that.


(But perhaps that's what you were trying to push... that you don't accept that.)

See ya
