I think this is not possible for TB 3.0, because all add-ons are 
incompatible.
So there should be a ">" be presented, either by Orca or by TB. If this 
isn't possible, we should think about the presentation seen by Jaws, 
"block quote".
I clearly vote for the usual way with ">".
I oppose multiple choices in the preference page, please do not 
complicate things without any need. TB should follow the standards.
