 correct

 In HTML5 the `<cite>` element shouldn't be used, when referring to a
 name/author.

 Sources:

 * http://html5doctor.com/blockquote-q-cite/#cite

 The Release Candidate proposes the `<b>` [http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-
 level-semantics.html#the-b-element element], which sounds fair enough.
 obenland mentioned, that it would also set itself apart from the
 sorrounding `<span>`.
