I like CITE:subtype for customization, where CITE is a member some set,
e.g. {cite citep/(cite) fncite citeauthor} or whatever. I like this cause
it's ∞ customizable due to the subtype.

I also like [·]{:key val}, though less so for citations.  It could also be
used for "true" *inline* tasks, which would sometimes be quite nice.

Previously, I thought not.  But since M-c is so nice I don't see why not.

[Then again, perhaps Cite could be "captured" automatically if it's after a
 sentence-end (wait I see you use French spacing...! *sigh*).]

Biblatex is the gold standard.  Maybe not in input-aesthetics..., but in
terms of amenability, usability and output it surely is.  (No, I have
nothing to back this up).
