Would you consider providing a test file showing off its features?

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?
