Browser default stylesheets typically give `<figure>` elements extra margins on the left and right. `<blockquote>` elements have a large indent. Combining these two properties gives the final quotation an excessive visual indent, wasting precious vertical screen space. When quoted text contains list elements (`<ol>`, `<dl>`, `<ul>`), the indentation alone may fill most of a narrow viewport!
I chose to remove the margins in `<figure>` elements for quotations. If you're reading this page with its own stylesheet enabled, in a CSS&nbsp;3 compliant browser, you might have noticed the blockquotes on it have a minimal indent and a thick gray border on the left rather than a full indent. These two adjustments allow blockquotes containing bulleted lists to fit on most narrow viewports, even when wrapped by a `<figure>` element. Browsers that do not support CSS&nbsp;3 properties such as `padding-inline-start` will render quoted text using default stylesheets (probably with an indent), which are perfectly usable if a bit inconvenient.

Another example: outside the Web, I prefer indenting code with tabs instead of spaces. Tab widths are user-configurable, while spaces aren't. HTML pre-formatted code blocks, however, are best indented with two spaces. Default browser stylesheets typically represent tabs with an excessive indent, which can be annoying on narrow viewports.
