An excellent answer, but wouldn't it be advisable to use classes?

cite.book { font-style: italic; }

cite.periodical { quotes: '"' '"' "'" "'" }
cite.periodical:before { content: open-quote }
cite.periodical:after { content: close-quote }

That way you could change the appropriate styles per citation type as
you wish later on.
