<q>Any sufficiently advanced cluelessness is indistinguishable from
humour.<attrib>Francois Souchay<br>news.admin.policy</attrib></q>
Which would render something like:
"Any sufficiently advanced cluelessness is indistinguishable from humour."

I think <attrib> is an important content markup that would be especially
useful to indexing robots. Not to mention indexing Usenet itself, which
brings up the question of nested quotes and attributions. Could it be
allowable to have nested quotations?

Applying style sheets to this could make it render like it does in a
newsreader, or something else could be done with it. There are a myriad
of attribution styles, though... footnotes, margin notes, etc, etc.
