Ok, so order isn't important.
You want to add a closing DFN tag by the way. (To the example.)

Well, the draft states (this is SAMP):
# Contexts in which this element may be used:
# Where strictly inline-level content is allowed.
So it may only be used in strictly inline-level context, right?
How can otherwise ever apply:
# Content model:
# When used in an element whose content model is only strictly
# inline-level content: only strictly inline-level content.
# Otherwise: any inline-level content.
..?

Like
<q>foo bar and then <cite>Ian</cite> said:
<blockquote>
<p>Well, I don't want to go into details right now...</p>
<p>... but this looks like a very ugly markup construct...</p>
</blockquote>
however, he was of course wrong, as this kind of nesting is actually
kind a cool, not?</q>
..? It looks terrible imho. Not something you put inline or so.
