Re: @cite (was: longdesc URLs and RDFa(

Having looked at the source code of that spec, I guess that was my 
model as well. If @cite was to be interpreted as a subject, then - if 
there were many quotes from the same source one the same page, in 
different blockquote or q elements, then they would all belong to the 
same subject. And that would perhaps not be the typical intent. So I 
think I'm back on the  track, for now ... 

If one mean to have more direct quoting/embedding, then one can use 
<iframe/> or <object/> (once @data is supported ...) ...
