 Reported by MarkJaquith and Nacin, Quote post format styles could look
 more like quotes.

 Example from Mark: http://cl.ly/image/3K22353h0K2j

 > There’s one thing that kind of seems off to me… the Quote format. It
 doesn’t seem very “Quote-y”. None of the traditional blockquote cues are
 used… indentation, quote marks, left-border… Same for source. No em-dash.

 From Andy:

 > Also agree that quotes lack sufficient styling. This isn’t just
 designer’s license, this is an issue of things looking like they are
 plagiarized. (Someone else, a journalist, pointed this out to me at a
 meetup, and I forgot to relay it.) It needs to be clear that a quote is a
 quote.

 CSS patch attached, provided by Joen. Here's what it should look like:

 Joen notes:

 > These two add opening and closing curly quotes. CSS 3 actually has those
 builtin, i.e. content: open-quote; and content: close-quote;. But neither
 of those work in Chrome, hence the escaped glyphs.
