I’ve Got A Problem

OK, I’ve got a bit of a problem.  I need to replace the <blockquote> tag with something else.  My initial thought was to simply use a <div> tag and give it a class called “quote”.  This displays correctly, but doesn’t validate.

The validator suggested using the <object> tag.  I did and the page validates ok, but it doesn’t display the quotes!

So I also tried using <ins>, <q> and <cite>… none of which displayed correctly.  Has anyone else figured out what to replace <blockquote> with?
