Bastien, thanks for the response and the explanation. Looks like getting
org-mode recognize the ">" prefix as a demarcator of a code block isn't the
right approach then.

What about John Hendy's suggestion of finding a face I like, and then
adding "^> text..." to the list of things org fontifies with that style?
('In other words, add "^> text" regexp to the existing hunt for lines that
start with #+ in order to get src code fontification applied.')

Is this feasible? If so, how would I go about doing this? Sorry for the
newbie question. I'm looking in org-faces, and I don't see anywhere where I
can specify the prefix characters org looks for...
