No, CITE gives a *URI* for the source of the quotation:

<BLOCKQUOTE
CITE="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#adef-cite-Q">
cite = uri [CT]
The value of this attribute is a URI that designates a source document or
message. This attribute is intended to give information about the source
from which the quotation was borrowed.
</BLOCKQUOTE>

So your example should be

<P><Q CITE="http://www.w3.org/Press/1998/CSS2-REC">Today's release of the
CSS2 specification demonstrates the effectiveness of the W3C process and is
the culmination of more than a year's work,</Q> said Chris Lilley, chair of
the CSS&amp;FP Working Group.</P>
