nope, when styling your <cite> tag, include the nested <a> tag in your
declaration:
cite, cite a {
color: #000000;
background: #ffffff;
font-style: italic;
}

what browsers are you targeting with this? if it's ie5+/win only, then try
a css behavior. one for this sort of trickery should be hella easy. holler
if you wanna go this route. i've written a fair number of behaviors and
could probably whip this sort of thing up rather quickly. it'd then be as
simple as attaching the behavior to the css entry for the <cite> tag.

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
yes, of course you can. just make sure that the "name" attribute value
doesn't match the bookmark being linked to in the "href" attribute or
clicking the link will do nothing. ;)
good luck,
