Block quotes with a blank line between them get merged

[Steve Hoelzer]

Text:


> number 1

>

> letter B



> last one



Markdown output:

<blockquote>
  <p>number 1</p>

  <p>letter B</p>

  <p>last one</p>
</blockquote>


Is this the intended behavior? I think there should be two separate
block quote tags like this:

<blockquote>
  <p>number 1</p>

  <p>letter B</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
  <p>last one</p>
</blockquote>
