To me it seems they are trying to make HTML more semantic, but they do it only partially and not consistent. Anyway, I don't want to be depending on a renderer to decide who things must look as this is not defined in the standard. If they would specify the standard rendering of a semantic tag, it could be easily used and overruled. It is almost impossible to prevent every possible layout that a renderer could apply to a tag as their standard.

Just a title on its own they regard as something for <cite>. See their
Doctor Who example. But I tend to agree it is a bit flaky, since they regard an author name as something to use <cite> on too, whereas in actual practice you wouldn't usually want to differentiate such text. They have the strange example of
Charles Bukowski. As far as I'm concerned, that's just a name. But
Love is a dog from hell is a book title and should be italicised.
