Why does quote and verse block fontification have to override local fontification?

[Anders Johansson <mejlaandersj@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I want to fontify quote blocks (i use them a lot for note taking 
and writing paper) so that they stand out (and so I enable 
org-fontify-quote-and-verse-blocks) but it would be useful to 
preserve the local fontification of emphasis, links etc. inside 
quote blocks. This can easily be achieved with a patch like this 
org.el:

6096,6099c6096,6099
<          ((string= block-type "quote")
<           (add-face-text-property beg1 (min (point-max) (1+ 
end1)) 'org-quote t))
<          ((string= block-type "verse")
<           (add-face-text-property beg1 (min (point-max) (1+ 
end1)) 'org-verse t)))
---
> 	     ((string= block-type "quote")
> 	      (add-text-properties beg1 (min (point-max) (1+ end1)) 
> '(face org-quote)))
> 	     ((string= block-type "verse")
> 	      (add-text-properties beg1 (min (point-max) (1+ end1)) 
> '(face org-verse))))


In this invocation add-face-text-property appends org-quote to the 
face property, and hence all other fontification is kept.

Does this interfere with something else or what people would 
expect? In my view it looks much better, but I guess that can 
depend on the appearance of org-quote and org-verse (I have them 
as font-lock-comment-face, just a slightly different colour, on 
top of which italics etc. look good).
