I think blockquote attribution recommendations are perhaps the least stable part of the HTML spec I can think of. There have been at least three, I think at least four, completely different and mostly mutually-incompatible recommendations in the past decade. `blockquote > footer` was the recommendation a few years ago. Now they say <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-blockquote-element https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html...>: > Attribution for the quotation, if any, must be placed outside the blockquote element. … and suggest things like `blockquote + p` and `figure > blockquote + figcaption` instead. I will also note that that use of figure would have been semantically inappropriate a decade ago, when figure was supposed to be something that could reasonably be taken out of the document flow, but now that’s been downgraded to just being a self-contained unit, though it may be able to be taken by itself and it’s generally suggested that you refer to figures by their captions.
