Existing tools may assume it contains a title. Existing tools (which I would assume follow the HTML 4.01 spec) would be mistaken in their implementation of the <cite> element, then: "CITE: Contains a citation or reference to other sources." (See <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1>.) Moreover, in its sample usage, the HTML 4.01 spec uses <cite> for more than titles. While the HTML 4.01 specification is hardly perfect, I don't see the value in limiting the semantic potential of the <cite> element in HTML5. Erik Vorhes
