The blockquote style increases the font size

The blockquote style increases font size by 2.25rem. While I understand why this might be useful and desired in some cases, it not so in all.

The Eclipse Project Handbook content (which is generated from very standard AsciiDoc) uses the element in a few places.

For example:

<div class="quoteblock">
	<div class="title">Example website notices</div>
	<blockquote>
		<div class="paragraph">
			<p>All material on this website is Copyright (c) 2017,
				Contributors to the Eclipse Foundation</p>
		</div>
		<div class="paragraph">
			<p>Eclipse Dash and the Eclipse Dash project logo are
				trademarks of the Eclipse Foundation. Eclipse and the Eclipse
				logo are registered trademarks of The Eclipse Foundation.</p>
		</div>
		<div class="paragraph">
			<p>Java and all Java-based trademarks are trademarks of Oracle
				Corporation in the United States, other countries, or both.</p>
		</div>
		<div class="paragraph">
			<p>Content may contain encryption software. The country in
				which you are currently may have restrictions on the import,
				possession, and use, and/or re-export to another country, of
				encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please
				check the country&#8217;s laws, regulations and policies
				concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of
				encryption software, to see if this is permitted.</p>
		</div>
	</blockquote>
</div>

The generated HTML document is here. It's rendered through this PHP script.

I've tried very hard to use very standard AsciiDoc and use it to generate very plain HTML so that we can leverage, rather than fight, the standard website CSS. I'd very much rather not have to jump through hoops to fight the CSS.

My understanding is that as a "flow element", blockquote is intended for long-form quotations, rather than for call-outs (which I assume is why the font is so large).

Having said all that, I did create a CSS to tweak various elements. I've tried to use this CSS consistently with the documents that we generate from AsciiDoc.

What is your recommendation for remediation?

Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
