Well, in fact, the above could be done as well by 'playing' with anchors
(but is it still possible to set an anchor somewhere in the document, such
as <a id="foo" />? I haven't found examples for that, perhaps I'm missing
something...).
Yes, a hash link (<a href="#foo">) will scroll to the element with an
id=foo. If coding properly, you'll virtually *never* use an <a> for
an actual *anchor*, but rather will target the most semantically
appropriate element, such as a heading or a container with the
appropriate @id.

Thanks! That's what I was missing in the specicification (I should give
it a more accurate reading). Does it applies to every element, covering
the <cite> element too? If so, there is no need for new attribute to
relate a quoted content to its cited source (especially to relate
several quotations to a single, or a main, complete reference),
something like:
<p>An interesting element is the <code><cite></code> element. It's
definition is: <q cite="#cite">The |<code>cite</code>| element
represents the title of a work (e.g. a book, a paper, an essay, a poem,
a score, a song, a script, a film, a TV show, a game, a sculpture, a
painting, a theatre production, a play, an opera, a musical, an
exhibition, etc). This can be a work that is being quoted or referenced
in detail (i.e. a citation), or it can just be a work that is mentioned
in passing.</q></p>
<p>The <code>cite</code> element semantics finds a good placing inside a
bibliographic citation, but only refers to the title of the work, not to
the entire citation. In fact, it is sayd: <q cite="#cite">The
|<code>cite</code>| element is obviously a key part of any citation in a
bibliography, but it is only used to mark the title</q> [...]</p>
[...]
<p>A complete reference for the <code>cite</code> element is found in
WHATWG <a
href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/";><cite>HTML
5</cite></a> draft reccomendation, section <a
href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-cite-element";><cite
id="cite">4.6.3 The <code>cite</code> element</cite></a>
should work fine, while in a scientific paper something like
...<a href="#whref">[whnt02]</a>...
might be an instance of:
<p><b>[whnt02]</b>: <cite id="whref">A new theory on White Holes:
universe regeneration proved.</cite>, John Doe and Jack Someone, 2013,
Science Paper Hall, IBAN:'example_iban_code'</p>
in a similar way as
... <a href="#jd">John Doe</a>...
is an instance of:
<p>The name <dfn id="jd">John Doe</dfn> is the one commonly used to
indicate a person whose identity is unknown; may be found in some
examples to indicate a generic person involved in some context, to
indicate whoever else could be involved too, or to focus the attention
on the context itself or its related subject, despite any real person
involved or the likelyhood for the facts to happen.</p>
In conclusion, what I was suggesting is yet possible, if I'm not
misanderstandig (again?), without any need for additional attributes.
The reverse realtionship (from a <cite> to one or more
<q>/<blockquote>), instead, might be more difficoult, but I agree with
Ian Hickson that some 'real world' need should arise before addressing such.
