I was unaware of the Microdata spec. Now that I have seen it, I think it offers a lot of power and flexibility. I think it should adequately cover the use case I was thinking of. I'm in favor of adding a non-normative note to the section of the HTML5 spec that discusses <cite> that demonstrates how Microdata or RDFa could be used for this purpose. There will likely be other people like me who read the <cite> section of the spec and think "What? I can't actually make the citation point to something?"
