"It seems to me that the wording in the spec should be:

“It is suggested that if the ‘footer’ or ‘cite’ elements are included and these
elements are also being used within a ‘blockquote’ to identify citations, ‘i’
elements should be substitued for the ‘cite’ elements from the quoted source,
and ‘div’ elements substituted for the ‘footer’ elements from the quoted
source. The original mark-up (using ‘cite’ and/or ‘footer’) can be retained in
comments.”

The part about “div” for “footer” is my own conjecture."
