Mind you, screenreaders don't generally read out "quote" for the <q> tag either. Have a look at this: http://dotjay.co.uk/tests/screen-readers/q-element/ For what it's worth, it seems reasonable to me that a still image, or short clip, could be marked up as a quote from a larger film. But the original HTML spec only considers quoting excerpts from written text, not excerpts from audio or video as well. I don't know if there's any practical value in using <q> like this, since <q> isn't consistently implemented across web browsers.
It's the "cite" attribute that gives it value. It lets me bind a set of thumbnails together (as being from the same "video") while allowing the thumbnails to be all over the place (and not necessarily in some container element, like a <span> or something, which binds them together). (Did that make sense? Did I explain that well? Or would an example help?)
