The Python code is basically nonexistent, but how far off being useful is the Ruby? Can you give some commentary on what the bits and pieces that are there do and do not do?
I'm wondering whether to bite the bullet and start coding in Python - but I really have no idea yet of the scope.

Hey, David just pinged me about this off-list. My answer on citeproc:
====
The Ruby one is much developed than the Python, and the XSLT MUCH more
developed than the Ruby. I wouldn't bother with either at this point
frankly.
If we get Saxon 8 bundled with OOo (the Sun guy responsible for this
was considering it), citeproc would work there. I know there's the
whole Java issue, but maybe a better first step at least, and with Word
2007, there's now precedent! And OOo needs to get its act together on
XSLT.
====
The subversion versions of CSL and citeproc are now in sync, and I've
transitioned to using the sort of RDF format I'm wanting to standardize
in ODF. I'm still contemplating some changes to CSL, though I think I
may only bother with that if I can gather some support (from
publishers, and maybe MS) for standardizing CSL.

I'd suggest using uris in general. For reference, here's what my
DocBook citations look like these days:
<citation>
<biblioref xlink:href=""></citation>
That allows you to resolve the identifiers against any manner of
sources.
Other examples from my collection:

Check it out from SVN and let me know if you get stuck.
