NOTES:
This tag works in all mail clients.
When I was doing programming for bookstores,
I would often came across the <cite> line in the example as part of a search query result.
This tag apparently was made by the W3C for compiling a list of references.
With AJAX emerging as a valid technology, I'm sure there would now be a JavaScript backend
compiling a reference link section from all the ISBN numbers.
While this is really useful in (X)HTML pages, it is mostly useless in e-mails.
