Umm. Wouldn't the <cite> element be more semantic?

To bring this back to CSS, I have noticed that most browsers style
<cite> with italics, but I came across at least one that did not. (Can't
remember which.)

So I suggest adding this rule to your style sheet:

cite { font-style: italic; }

Cordially,
David
