Comment (by holizz):

 According to the HTML 4.01 spec (XHTML 1.0 doesn't define any elements -
 it relies on HTML4 for that):

   CITE:
   Contains a citation or a reference to other sources.

 http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#edef-CITE

 I wouldn't consider a person's name to fit that definition, though it's
 not as specific about names as the HTML5 spec.

 And cite does appear several places outside of wp-admin.
