Although most major style guides (such as MLA) recommend the use of italics for book titles, it is technically improper to mark them with <i> since this precludes a simple CSS change to change the style from one format to another. Ideally, it would probably be <span class="book">.
Now, if any editor actually wants to type that all out...
More like <cite class="book">. Too bad IE doesn't support generated content; then we could have <cite class="article"> as well, with auto-quotes. :)
