Are there actual editing systems that use HTML as their file format, store reasons for changes in external files and point to them using the cite attribute? Earlier today, I was notified of markup that used the cite attribute and had traits that suggested it was generated by Microsoft Office. However, that markup didn't use the cite attribute to point a resource explaining the change. Instead, the attribute had been twisted to store the identity of the maker of the change by prepending mailto: to what looked like a userid. > Was your [2] reference intended to be a separate issue, or were you > drawing an analogy?
