My refrain on Citation syntax thread has always been:

    The 3rd-Party Citation Tools are *very much* part of the what is
    being proposed.  Has someone built a prototype that _actually_
    interfaces with these citation tools to understand what the
    practical constraints are?

The workflow question I raised is very much in tune with the above
refrain.
