Yes, well done, especially considering my outdated docs :-/.
Somebody suggested using char(something) instead of url(animage). Is
that possible?
Observing the font size of the quoted text would be good.
Also, as akk already mentioned, using background shows problems during
copy. In the clipboard, there won't be any indication that the text was
quoted.
I istill believe that creating a :line-start pseudo-class or similar in
Gecko would be the best solution, in part because I think, it would be
generally useful, i.e. should be part of CSS3.

No. I believe that in general, vertical bars are better than ">"s,
especially if you know for sure that it is a quote.

Why a pref, if you can do it with a few CSS lines in your user stylesheet?
