I created QuoteLink [1], an Opera extension, which also supports [3] cite attribute.
It can be certainly improved. I didn't find time yet to fix a few bugs and/or UI improvements. (any suggestions [2] are welcome) But this gives you an additional implementation at least.

For what is worth, cite attribute is accepting URIs. http:// links will be fine, but it might be the case where the URI will be a URN. It means it is possible to create URIs such as 

 <blockquote cite="urn:isbn:978-2-912667-70-0">
 …
 </blockquote>

In my implementation, I made the choice to translate it as a link to the Open Library

 http://openlibrary.org/isbn/9782912667700

This is the main difficulty of implementing cite attribute. Probably it would be better to have an option giving the user the chance to associate the urn: with specific services of their choices.
