It is not supposed to be clickable, according to the specs. That is why I referenced the CSS trick as a 
*workaround*. The basic problem is that browser do not offer any way to go (or even to display) the 
value of the cite attribute). Hence the Opera workaround, by inserting a bit of xml.

The bug is still OK: the first line is the bug ("cite attibute, albeit perfectly valid, is not supported by 
browsers.")
The rest is imperfects worlarounds.

I reopen the bug, please tell me if I should not do this.
