Better \startblockquote\relax

The \startblockquote command has a optional argument which is passed to 
\startnarrower and
in your example [w] is used as the argument. This alone won’t be enough 
for an error, the reason
why you get problems is that \startnarrower takes everything which isn’t 
a valid keyword (left, right
or middle) as dimension for the margins but "w" isn’t a dimension and 
generates the error.
