Added title and date fields to quote format. #37

Without a "title" field there is no way to mark up quote credits with the cite tag in a way that conforms to the HTML5 spec. Cite is only meant to be applied to the title of a work, not the name of a person. I included date since a year is often given. Ultimately this will allow theme authors to follow the "Name, Title, Date" convention of quote credits while conforming to the HTML5 spec.

Sorry, I'm new :) I didn't mean to put my own README.md in this pull request.

Some background: the cite element in HTML5 is rather contentious. HTML5 Doctor has a great post on it: http://html5doctor.com/blockquote-q-cite/

Not sure if it is kosher or event relevant but here's some live quotes on my blog showing different combinations of data and mark up (naturally, a work in progress): http://synapticism.com/type/quote/
