> In the previous definition of the cite element, it was clear that its use
> was intended for representing titles of works. For example:
> 
>   <p>I like to watch <cite>Doctor Who</cite>, because...</p>
> 
> However, the definition of the element is now the following:
> 
> "The cite element represents reference information about the source of
> quoted text."
> 
> This makes it unclear whether the element can still be used as with the
> previous definition, where the element is used to show the title of
> something and does not have to be used near a quote.
