Jennifer,
I was not 100% sure whether you want to have an element
around everything or just around the publishing information
after the citetitle.
If it's the former, you can put a blockquote inside a
para, which would let you have a surrounding para, which
could have a role attribute you could use to generate the
HTML class atribute you need..
If it's the latter, there are a couple of ways you can go.
First of all, you can put the attribution element directly
inside the blockquote, which is preferable to putting a para
with a citetitle inside.
Then, you might find elements inside attribution that would
do what you need. If not, you can always put text inside a
phrase element and give the phrase a role attribute you can
use to generate the HTML class attribute you need.
Hope that helps.
