I decided a while ago that, whatever the spec says here, I’ll continue using cite for names, just as I have under HTML 4.
Breaking backwards-compatibility here, in an unenforceable way (because no validator can tell whether you’re citing a name or a work) seems to me one of the unnecessary restrictions that HTML5 has done a good job of avoiding elsewhere.
