I got encouraged on the IRC channel to write about my ambitions here.

So I have a web page generated by org-mode which has a fancy quote at the
beginning, generated by #+BEGIN/END_QUOTE of course... and the
signature/citation/reference at the end seemed off so I googled "html
blockquote" and apparently the proper way to use it [1] is to have a <cite>
tag after the <blockquote> tag. So I thought, this can't be so hard...
let's do it... a few copy/pastes and search-and-replaces later... I
realized that the #+BEGIN/END_QUOTE block is processed not just by ox-html
but also buy the other backends... so to make things nice, I'd need to
implement the same thing in them as well... which might not be a meaningful
thing to do.

I just had that urge that "wow, I want to contribute to that cool project
(org-mode) which I use so much"... but it's not something what I thing
should be extra useful. It can be done without adding a CITE block to the
html export backend. I need it only in one place - so probably not worth it.

But still, any opinion on this? (I got really good encouragement on IRC to
write here)

Best,
Emil
