Yes, this is a PITA, because it starts to tread heavily on document features. I feel like I need to confine this language to citation and bibliographic formatting, and I need to draw the line when we get into what is basically a cross between index, TOC and reference list. I just can't see how to accomdate this in an elegant way. My sense is that at some point this could be accomodated by a really simple change tthough, that would basically be some sort of parameter that passes off the formatted references to some sort of index processor.
