W3C is working on richer means to express metadata. You will be able to an id attribute on BLOCKQUOTE and Q to name these elements. The value of the cite attribute specfies the the document the excerpt is taken from. This can be used to to locate metadata for the excerpted document. Both BLOCKQUOTE and Q support the title attribute.
