(Or say we started over with C-c C-o... same thing.)

At this point we should see "class".
But instead we see mmm.

In other words,
we have just made a
<blockquote class="mmm">
so the attribute is "class"
and the value is "mmm".
Each needs to be remembered separately,
not jumbled together.

The next time we make a blockquote, we then can directly go to the
"<blockquote class=" stage. As we certainly do not intend to create
"<blockquote mmm=" !
