This seems backward and wrong /to me/.  Why not global options?  I
actually think we "agreed" on this earlier.

#+cite: text-cite
#+(cite): parenthesis-cite 

Or

#+cite: numeric
#+(cite): footnote-cite

This is why I asked Tom earlier if he normally uses more than two citation
TYPES.  Presumably citeauthor and citeyear works irrespective of the main
citation type.  So I still think that having two TYPES handy will meet
most requirements.
