Minimal change (or actually, no > change to HTML 4.01) is the best way. This change is to restore the HTML 4.01 way. By removing the ability to cite authors, lots of people have spent a good deal of time attempting to find other ways of marking that up, leading to potential code bloat (wrapping blockquotes in <figure>, for example, so they can use a <figcaption> instead of <cite> inside / next to a <blockquote>).
