That is the big one for me. As the example png I posted shows, I need to 
have support for multiple quoted sections and unquoted text at the end.

I have some very long footnotes and have moved to endnotes. The same 
issues present themselves, and many others related to commands that do 
not work in margins, footnotes, and other floating environments, but I 
think the solution is to write them as a separate chapter and manage the 
cross-references (footnote marks) myself.

The opening and repetition guillemot in paragraphs started by 
\startbloccite and \bloccitepar align correctly. The difference in 
alignment of the first text character in those paragraphs appears to be 
about 0.45pt, which can be handled by the \hskip at the end of the 
definition of \bloccitepar. That value is absolute, so may need 
adjusting for other fonts and sizes. Perhaps an hskip of 0.375em might 
be more flexible.

Another problem occurs when protrusion is enabled. A guillemot in 
running text that happens to be placed at the beginning of a line will 
protrude into the left margin channel, but the guillemots that are 
generated by this mechanism will not protrude. When these are on the 
same page it is ugly.
