Comment (by beaulebens):

 I realized I missed a field in the Quote format, with all the mess around
 it :)

 In the [http://f.cl.ly/items/1t1H1Y0w0g1d2p1N1p0r latest mocks], there are
 the following fields:

 * Quote (the actual quote)
 * Who said (source name)
 * Where did they say this? (source URL? I think?)
 * Comment (my commentary on the quote)

 If we formalize the "Where did they say this" to be "URL to source" and
 only allow a URL (which is what I think we should do), then we can use
 that directly in the cite="" attribute on the <blockquote>.

 {{{
 <div class="format-quote-quotation">
         <blockquote cite="{$_format_url}">{$post_content}</blockquote>
         <div class="format-quote-source"><a
 href="{$_format_url}">{$_format_source}</a></div>
 </div> . "\n\n"
 {$_format_commentary}
 }}}

 (change is $url => $_format_url, to use the standardized meta field, and
 wrap the _format_source in a link to _format_url, since the cite attribute
 isn't actually exposed in most (any?) user agents)

 If the "Who said" field is indeed the name of a person, then HTML5
 dictates we cannot use the <cite> tag around it. If it was the name of a
 "text" (document, script, some body of work) then we could wrap it in a
 <cite>. Annoyingly, pre-HTML5 it would have been fine to wrap whatever was
 entered in this field with <cite>, which would have given nice clean
 markup.
