I think this is an interesting solution to the problem but, since <blockquote>
is a sectioning root, I think <footer> is more apt for <blockquote> metadata.
It also requires less markup and (for me at least!) less congnitive
reconfiguration.
In addition, I think the <figcaption> has a less coupled relationship with its
sibling <blockquote> than the <footer> would as a child element.
