Re: is it necessary to disambiguate (using markup) inline notes,citations and original markup? [was] use of <mark> to denote notes in quoted text

I feel <aside> wouldn't be semantically correct in this case (the content
is not tangentially related) and <note> doesn't imply a "highlighted" part
of the quote.

The example made by Adrian with the use of a <footer> element seems like a
good idea, although adding id's to the paragraphs doesn't seem very logical
to me, I'd add it to the mark.

How about something similar to how labels and inputs work? Labels can be
explicitly linked to elements by use of the 'for' and 'id' attributes, a
similar system for a <mark> element and some other element to elaborate on
the <mark> might be appropriate.

Something like:
<blockquote>
  <p>Good advice is always certain to be ignored, <mark
id="example-mark">but that's no reason not to give it</mark>.</p>
  <footer>
    <p for="example-mark">That's exactly what I'm talking about; you should
be able to give unasked advice.</p>
  </footer>
</blockquote>

Of course, the 'for' attribute on a paragraph is... sub-optimal, but you
get the idea, maybe something like 'rel' as it depicts a relation.

Thoughts?
