So I read on a blog [1] that cite is not for people's names now. Sure enough our draft reflects this [2]. There are some comments complaining about this. But HTML 4.01 includes an example of cite using a person's name: As <CITE>Harry S. Truman</CITE> said, ... [3] That would be contradictory, which I'm not fond of. Do we really want to decrease the scope of CITE? Is there a design principle involved? (Are these reasonable questions to ask?)
