It also requires a lot of additional markup. Can't we just say that when 
you want to give additional semantics, like you need to use DFN for real 
definitions, you need to use <dt><cite>{Person}</cite> and either 
<dd><q>{Quote}</q> or <dd><blockquote>...{Quote}...</blockquote>.

I think it should be kept. But that there should be a similar note like 
the one about DFN.
