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

To me, they support the former

As <CITE>Harry S. Truman</CITE> said,
<Q lang="en-us">The buck stops here.</Q>

Truman didn't say it here, for this document...he said it somewhere else.

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

The information is somewhere else...namely, in the ISO spec.

So, by my interpretation, if you cited "a blog by blah", it would imply that the blog is actually somewhere else, and you're citing from it.


Yes, I see your reasoning, thanks.

By the way, even if one were to allow the use of CITE for a byline, I can see from the W3C example that the markup should not be:

        <cite>by Bob</cite>
but rather:
        <tag>by <cite>Bob</cite></tag>

which doesn't help me decide what that <tag> should be. (Anyway, CITE's inline and I think I'm looking for something normally block.)

My goal is still to learn what markup solutions others have settled on for headline/tagline and title/byline pairs.

Regards,

Paul
