This came up a few weeks back, but I quickly lost the conversation.

Shouldn't the quotation environment work as it does in LaTeX?  If one 
has a \startquotation after a paragraph break (white space, or \par) 
and a break after the \stopquotation, then the following paragraph 
should understood to be new, and hence requiring a first line indent.

If, however, there are no breaks, then the quote is understood to be a 
part of the larger paragraph on either side of it, and hence the text 
after block quote is not indented.  (And might this be default 
behavior?  Relevant, say, if typesetting a DocBook doc with its 
blockquote element.)

Seems to me this is easier and more elegant than specifying some option 
every time one wants to use the command...
