This is a start. I think what we need (and I don't know how to do it), especially for the punctuation part, is a "live" update using a citation entered by the user (or populated by the interface), showing what difference a change would make.

It's possible to do that in html using the xml-httprequest stuff. Some high-profile examples that use the technology are gmail, flickr, and the new ta-da list.


Any ideas how one might implement that (it could have "try it" button that feeds the style sheet and the citation (MODSXML?) to a web-service and returns an xhtml formatted citation?

Sure. CiteProc is a web service (the XSLT processor communicates with the database over HTTP), so it would be fairly simple to allow previewing.


Probably in a (dreaded) pop up window?

I don't think that's necessary with xml-httprequest. See here for an example:
