I think so; "brilliant ideas" is a (hypothetical) title of a talk. <cite> is use for marking up titles of cited works. At least it was when it was added to HTML 2.0. The semantics seem to have drifted since then, but I think it has only grown usages, not lost them. Wow... the HTML 4 spec http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1 doesn't even document the original purpose of cite: [[ The CITE element is used to indicate the title of a book or other citation. It is typically rendered as italics. For example: He just couldn't get enough of <cite>The Grapes of Wrath</cite>. ]] -- http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_5.html#SEC5.7.1.1 It's supposed to capture this idiom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Titles_of_artistic_works -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
