The <cite> element alone is far too coarse a tool for this job. So, to summarise, <cite> is insufficient for extracting useful semantics and has a (essentially unchangable) default style which means that it will /at best/ be used correctly in English, some of the time, with careful authouring. You've presented quite a convincing argument to deprecate <cite>. -- "Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all going to end?" -- Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
