I'm skeptical but probably it is 'cause I've misunderstood something! Someone put a lot of thought into writing e.g. biblatex or odt-bibliographies. Surely(?) we would want to leverage upon those and only have org-support insofar as serving some backend-specific parser enough information to do its work? –Rasmus -- May the Force be with you
