Right, although I think that the \par, or blank line, should go after
the \stopdelimitedtext in some cases.  I was imagining (and using)
quotations within a single larger paragraph, for example:

  Blah, blah, blah says:

     Ideas A, B and C.

  But those ideas are nonsense.

where the "Ideas A, B, and C." are indeed a paragraph but internal to
the single surrounding paragraph, like a displayed equation would be.

Then it could be typeset:

  Blah, blah, blah says:
  \startblockquote
       Ideas A, B and C.
  \stopblockquote
  But those ideas are nonsense.

  On to the next paragraph...

Rather, it could be typeset that way if the TeX paragraph builder didn't
have the constant linespacing restriction (or maybe with \vadjust).
