4. Look for any strings that look like a DOI:
\b((?:http://dx.doi.org/|doi:|)10.[\d.]+/(?:\S+))
(as it sucks to code special things for each database, in case they change or
you add a new one)
You can then fall back to #1 if necessary.

If depends on what you're going to do with the output -- I'd likely look
through the <a href=''> values for http://dx.doi.org DOIs first, then just look
at the text displaying on the page. I don't think you'd need jQuery for that.
