<cite> and <q> tags

I was wondering if "cite" and "q" are protected and if I could make my own style .cite rather that use <cite>, the same with .q rather  than <q>?

The reason I ask is ".q" shows up in my CSS list but the <q> doesn't and I have to type in the opening and close of the tag by hand.

I just don't want to run afoul of some obscure W3 rule by accident and have to search and replace a lot of pages for nothing.

    Reserved names are for scripting... not CSS. A class of "cite" is fine, though I might differentiate it to read "citation" to keep me from getting confused
