No, I think we should stick to a "Text before" and "Text after" field
PER SELECTED CITATION KEY (in the GUI) and not standardize the (myriad)
ways in which to refer to and comment on citations (or who is
misunderstanding whom now?)

I may be wrong (I don't have the PNG here right now), but wasn't there
one selector to choose a particular natbib-like variant of author-date
citation formatting (\citet, \citep, \citeauthor, ...) - which would
also mean that the author name in the examples you gave could be either
ordinary text or a separate citation

I don't really like the way endnote does this, that you have to do two
separate steps (first insert, then edit the citation) to perform this
very basic formatting - it should all be in the same initial window.
Also, endnote does apparently not offer the possibility to leave off
brackets entirely (for example if you're already inside brackets,
writing more extensive text)

just my thoughts,
Florian
