I had a look at the specs too and it did seem to make sense. If
you're referring to something someone said then that's clearly a
citation. What if you're just saying they were present at an event?
You can't really cite someone for that.
I think that's a perfectly acceptable use of <cite>. I've used it for
marking up the names of ships or books or bands. Handy for indicating
that some text is the name of a person or thing.
I wonder if this would solve a problem I've had in the past - marking
up variations on a name, within a text, to indicate that they all
refer to the same person (eg. Captain Cook or James Cook or just
simply Cook). <cite> with a title attribute could probably do that,
with a unique full name in the title attribute.
