Is there a reason for not using the
        - cite element
        - value "reference" for "class" attribute
              or maybe "source"

Why not?

<cite class="reference">
    <span class="fn">The Book of Ryan</span>
    <span class="author vcard">
        <span class="fn">Ryan Cannon</span>
    </span>
</cite>


I tend to avoid "citation" because of it has a a tendency to confuse people accross western languages. For example, citation is in French a quote (extract of a book) and a citation (reference for author).


There are a lot of Bibliography Formats on Dana Jacobsen's Web site. It's interesting to look at the different strategies used for giving a reference to a work.

There is also “A review of metadata: a survey of current resource description formats”
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/desire/overview/rev_toc.htm


BibTex format uses

@article{Gettys90,
   author = {Jim Gettys and Phil Karlton and Scott McGregor},
   title = {The {X} Window System, Version 11},
   journal = {Software Practice and Experience},
   volume = {20},
   number = {S2},
   year = {1990},
abstract = {A technical overview of the X11 functionality. This is an update
of the X10 TOG paper by Scheifler \& Gettys.}
}

Sometimes I wish we could write HTML with the same clarity than TeX/ LaTeX.
