I also need all this stuff for my `nodeca` forum. [Нere](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/consistent-attribute-syntax/272/62) was reasonable suggestion about blockquote meta. Alternative is [block directives](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/block-directives/802) (need those for spoilers anyway)

I don’t see any technical problems, but see specification problem. What can we do to boost spec development?
