Pardon me for asking an odd question on this, but I'm in the middle of
writing a big paper and so my mind is probably wrapped around too
formalistic a system of writing. So, I'm just being a curious snot.
When is there a need for a blockquote within a list? I don't think
I've encountered this condition "in the wild," so I was curious of
actual examples.

Also, I generally put a blank line after headings. Does this help
remedy the problem?
