17520	cite element used incorrectly	holizz		"Here's what the HTML5 specification says about the cite element:
  The cite element represents the title of a work (e.g. a book, a paper, an essay, a poem, a score, a song, a script, a film, a TV show, a game, a sculpture, a painting, a theatre production, a play, an opera, a musical, an exhibition, a legal case report, etc). […]
  
  A person's name is not the title of a work — even if people call that person a piece of work — and the element must therefore not be used to mark up people's names. (In some cases, the b element might be appropriate for names; e.g. in a gossip article where the names of famous people are keywords rendered with a different style to draw attention to them. In other cases, if an element is really needed, the span element can be used.)

The element is used plugins/hello.php correctly to mark up the title ""Hello, Dolly"". But many more places it is used incorrectly to mark up an author's name.

The obvious fix would be to replace all but the one correct instance of the cite element with spans with an appropriate class."	enhancement	new	low	Future Release	Administration		trivial		has-patch
