Personal I don't really care, but I think your assumption is wrong.
The information has a type, it is a quote. Marking it as such helps
your browser display it correctly. I expect that some day browsers
will allow you to specify your own css to use if one is not set.

As I said whether you use it or not, is up to you. Originally I was
only responing with info, ie what <q> is there for. Afterall you can
do the same effect with:

<p class=quote>"something smart that someone said" by Anon<p>

:-)
