I'm not so certain.  Isn't it good to be consistent in how the bibtex is
saved?  But I will happily break that test down to check the individual
fields rather than the whole record at once if you think that's more
sensible.

Agreed.  But I will happily fix any stupid tests that I write and I'm sure
they will catch some bugs.  The existing tests have already been very useful
for me.  

Best,

Greg.
