Thanks for these pointers--very interesting. It is certainly seductive
to think about pointing to a location such as a DOI and coming away with
a useful citation.

In my experience, there is typically a fairly wide gap between the
publisher's citation style and the information available digitally, even
in standard MARC records from a library. I bridge this gap by hand with
lots of changes to a Bib(La)TeX entry taken off the Web.  It would
certainly be a feat if this could be done automatically.

Part of the problem is publisher's citation styles.  BibLaTeX tries to
canvas that field, and the result is pretty complex.  The data needs for
a fully catholic BibLaTeX database are impractically large.

I'm not trying to throw cold water on a prospective project and would be
an avid user of a working "Better Way."

All the best,
Tom
