I may be crazy, but has anyone considered building a 'proof-of-concept' _application_ that works similarly to the way intended for OOo? Yes, developing it outside OOo, but using the future file format as much as possible (obviously not doing the rich formatting etc, but getting the mechanics of the citation processing down)

It seems to me that the grounding of developing a working system would help the great discussions that are happening now---sometimes it is just simpler to see it in code. It also seems that the complexity and dependancies inherent in working with the OOo base are holding back the project.

Yeah, that makes sense, though I'd point point out that pieces like citeproc are exactly this sort of proof-of-concept. So it can be figuring out smaller pieces ...
