Blockquote visibility

Title:
Blockquote visibility

Area:
Site scemes

Summary:
Blockquotes are difficult to visually identify in site-scheme pages.

Description:
Currently, site-scheme comment pages display blockquotes with a small indent (15px by my browser). In most instances, this indent is unnoticeable, leading viewers to not even realize that a blockquote exists in the post, especially if they are linked to an entry directly rather than viewing it on their reading page. This can become a problem when posters attempt to quote material from other posters or blogs - the current behavior does not immediately make it obvious the statements were quotes from a different person. (I've been horribly lost in several meta/essay posts until I managed to see the tiny indent.) I'd like to see a much larger indent or some sort of visual identifier (thin border, slightly different color to background?) on blockquotes.
