TYPES OF THUMBNAILS
Really there are different sources a thumbnail can come from.
A thumbnail can come from a video. But it could also come from a
(static) image.
So... to distinguish between these different types of thumbnails, I've
added a class-video to the <q> element. (I suppose if you have a
thumbnail from a static image you could add class-image... but
anyways....)
So, our example from before becomes...
<q class="video" cite="http://example.com/video";><img
src="http://example.com/thumbnail.jpg"; /></q>
Or if you want that pretty-printed...
<q class="video" cite="http://example.com/thevideo";>
<img src="http://example.com/thumbnail.jpg"; />
</q>

Comments? Critisizms? Opinions?
I don't think this is a very natural use of the <q> element. A
thumbnail isn't really like a quote of a prose fragment. Consider
that you would never put a thumbnail in quotation marks. Also, <q
cite=""> does not generally result in a clickable hyperlink, and <q>
adds rendered quotes in some browsers but not others. If you want the
full video to be clickable, what you might want is:
<a rev="thumbnail" href="http://example.com/video";>
<img src="http://example.com/thumbnail.jpg";>
</a>
Or, since rev is confusing and semi-deprecated, you could use
rel="full-video" or something like that; there's no very good
opposite to "thumbnail" unfortunately.
