Correct use of Blockquote, q and cite?

The blockquote element (also the q element) can optionally have a cite attribute to specify a URI where the quote came from. HTML5 says user agents should make that link available to the user, and HTML4 doesn’t say anything at all. I would include the URI both in the cite attribute and as an inline link, since browsers don’t handle it.
