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.

Note the "to other sources" part of the definition, though, compared to "of the piece at hand".


Ah.  It appears that you're reading it as:

        Contains [a citation or a reference] to other sources.

and I read it as:

        Contains [a citation] or [a reference to other sources].

I have to say that the two examples given in the spec seem to support the latter interpretation:
