Does anyone have any thoughts on the GUI screenshots I posted here for the new Word 2007 citation support?

I'm trying to think through, for example, how we might address the following limitation.

In general, this is well-done. However, it makes a problematic assumption that a user will only ever be using page numbers to identify a location within a document. In law and history, they often use paragraph, and even line, numbers. And sometimes they are combined. This is why in ODF we have separate elements—cite:detail— to encode this.

Relevant image is:

The ODF support avoids any limitations at the XML level, it might be a little tricky in the GUI.
