What markup do you favor for a headline-tagline pair? (The second

<cite>a blog by Bob</cite>
No, cite is for citations.
A question on <cite>: is this an appropriate usage?
<p>The SitePoint book <cite>Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way</cite>,
by Ian Lloyd, is a great primer for learning <acronym>HTML</acronym> and

More information can be found in <CITE>[ISO-0000]</CITE>.

As I read this definition and these examples, I find it defensible to
use CITE to mark up a byline which is, after all, a citation of the
author of the piece at hand.
A "citation" does indeed include the author: see

I suggested CITE in order to seed the discussion. I'm mostly
interested in people's recommendations of other byline and tagline
markup I might not already be considering.
