Editoria `<extract>` element

Editoria has an <extract> element reserved for formal (inset) quotes or (what JATS calls) "display quotes". These will render differently from <blockquote>.

Word has no exact analogue to this (content type or proto content type), although users can assign named Styles for this purpose or convey it via ad-hoc formatting (usual story). As a default (ostensibly for this) it also offers the style "Quote", so TypescriptHTML will have:

<p class="Quote">Rub a dub dub</p>
<p class="Quote">Three men in a tub</p>

For now, it seems reasonable to capture .Quote (i.e. <p class='Quote'>) as <extract>:

<extract>Rub a dub dub</extract>
<extract>Three men in a tub</extract>

Or perhaps better, runs of p.Quote into <p> inside <extract>:

<extract>
  <p>Rub a dub dub</p>
  <p>Three men in a tub</p>
</extract>

In other words, is this a one-to-one mapping, or a "(loose) group to (wrapped) group" mapping?
