Yes I meant exactly that. As for fontification, this is a very good
question! I've checked it now with the built-in "basic"
activation processor and it shows the "*" with an "error" face,
indicating that it's not a key in the bibliography file(s), which
might not be ideal. Nonetheless, this problem is not limited to or
introduced by this patch, because the same construct and
functionality is also supported by the "biblatex" and "natbib" export
processors.  Actually, the possibility of using "*" as a key comes
simply
from a citeproc-el change, not from oc-csl, I just thought that it is
obscure enough to merit an explicit mention in the NEWS file.

Thanks, I have tried to address your comments in the attached new
version of the patch.
Note that the quotes around "csl" follow the manual's "Citation
handling" chapter.

Thanks, that is indeed simpler, I've changed the function's definition
accordingly.
