I think the API could be simplified by having just one -sites accessor  
instead of two, allowing an optional "subscription" key that can be  
used to filter the items. This may also allow easier extensions in the  
future if we'd like that.

I think hcite links can appear on various sites, it's a proposal for a  
generic microformat. Perhaps it could point to a general info page.

That should be easy when you can get the proper ID from the web page.  
In particular, it can just use +[BibItem(PubMedLookup)  
itemWithPubMedSearchTerm:], and use the current behavior when that  
fails.
