That said, does this mean that "only" the OOo code is missing that:

  again into the OOo document

What I would *hope* that we would have is something that is a little like Microsoft's Research Pane, which would be used for inserting citations. That would talk to whatever database, and when adding citations, the records would be downloaded and embedded in the wrapper.

Formatting would be a separate step using those embedded data records.

I think the API we would use for this would be ZOOM, which would mean we'd get support for communicating with SRU and SRW servers (along with others).

We'd need help from the ZOOM gurus to figure out *precisely* how this would work, but my hope would be that one could choose a preferred database from a list of options (a RefBase instance and account might be one), which could be local or remote (working over SRU, etc.).
