If it’s a matter of allowing the use of markup, as an end, it is best to specify that <cite> may be used for anything. What could be more permissive? It can hardly be useful to have an element that has such vague semantics that it may mean a title of a work or a person or an organization. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
