<blockquote cite="urn:isbn:978-2-07-07533-7">
    <p>Sur un pétale de lotus, j'écrivis ces quelques vers :</p>
    <p>« <q>Même si l'on vient me chercher<br/>
        Comment, abandonnant la rosée<br/>
        De pareil lotus,<br/>
        Retournerai-je<br/>
        Dans le monde changeant et frivole ?</q> »</p>
    <p>et j'envoyais ce pétale.</p>
    <p class="source">
        <cite class="auteur">Shonagon, Sei</cite>, 
        <cite class="titre">Notes de chevet</cite>, p.64, Unesco, NRF, 1966.</p>

My favorite issue being when there is a mix of cite in the prose and blockquotes, there is no mechanism to associate the right cite with the right blockquote and this is happening often when you write about things referring to different sources.
