Bug ID: 25259
Summary: Conversations: recommend to use 'cite' instead of
'span'/'b'
Product: HTML WG
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: HTML5 spec

The section "Conversations" [1] recommends to use 'span' or 'b' "to mark the
speaker for styling purposes".
But as 'cite' [2] now [3] can also be used for author names, shouldn’t we
recommend to use 'cite' for the speaker name? (This would be similar to the
current example for comments in a blog.)
