Has anyone actually gotten up a _server-side_ process that uses CSL to
produce formatted citations? Using the citeproc-js with a certain
custom compiled js interpreter, or anything else?
This is what I'm interested in -- I'm not concerned with making it run
in a browser, so custom compiled JS interpreter isn't a showstopper.
But is still something that I'm not familiar with doing, so is going to
take me a while to figure out how to set up. If anyone has already set
anything up (using citeproc-js or anything else we may not know about),
can you let us know, and maybe share your tips/instructions/code?

A quick word of caution here; we got excited about citeproc-js until learning that it
actually requires a specific extension compiled into the Javascript interpreter, E4X:
<http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-doc.html#javascript-interpreters>
This is fine and cool, but is not as widely supported as Javascript itself; eg.
Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and a number of server-side Javascript
engines do not have E4X support:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E4x>
That said, I'm very excited about CSL in general and this thread in particular
— structured citation parsing is what I dream about at night. Great stuff.
