Ah, you're correct.

I know that the Google products that really really care about this behavior
actually cancel the default enter-handling in IE, and manually insert a <br> .
So I'm tempted to say the <br> is better. 

Julie will know lots more about this than I do though...

It'd be wonderful if browsers natively supported both splittable and
unsplittable blockquotes. Maybe there should be a magic CSS style for it? 
(e.g., -webkit-blockquote-split: {on, off})
