I'm using rel="cite" for references (with a profile) rather the <cite><a>  
compound. This is so I can use rev="cite" for a list of trackbacks  
recieved.

rel="trackback" is being used in the wild to designate a trackback url for  
a document, not for a list of trackbacks recieved.

Use <q> for inline quotes?
