Hmm, tooltips are a bit problematic, since there might also be a title
on the q or blockquote, a title on its container, or a title in its
contents. Also just displaying a cite attribute as a tooltip wouldn't be
pretty, as a cite is a URI and so not very human readable. One of the
features I'd like to add to my Hypertextuality extension is
automatically fetching metadata from cited pages. I'm not sure how best
to display it however.
