Summary: biblio.xsl: <citetitle> -> <cite> instead of <i>

Initial Comment:
(X)HTML has a tag <cite> intended for titles of works. biblio.xsl 1.25 
converts DocBook's <citetitle> tag into an <i> tag. This loses 
information (the fact that the text is a title), and also discriminates, 
however slightly, against blind people and others who uses non-visual 
user agents for which the concept "italic" is meaningless or not useful.

The default behavior for <cite> tags in HTML in a visual context is to 
render with italics anyway, so no visual functionality is lost by using 
the patch.
