Excellent! Thank you for this work.

The "wip-cite" branch is up-to-date with master (give or take last
commits). It implements a good basis for a citation syntax in Org (tests
included).

Also, there is "wip-cite-awe" branch from Aaron Ecay (Cc'ed) which
implements some support for exporting citations. "wip-cite-awe" is
up-to-date and base on top of "wip-cite".

AFAIR, everything we agreed on is implemented in "wip-cite" branch.

That's a good thing to know that citations may move forward. Let us know
if you need help. Meanwhile, as Richard suggests, please have a look at
"wip-cite" branch.
