Yeah, that's one possibility, though could get problematic when you
consider internationalization. E.g. "page=23; line=14" *might* be OK
for an English speaker, but not for anyone else. And then you need code
to handle all that, and conventions.
And consider, too, that most people would only ever deal with pages (I
have used paragraphs, but very rarely), so we can't make the general
case more difficult to accommodate the edge case.
In any case, worth further consideration.
BTW, on a related note, in the current ODF proposal we have:
<cite:biblioref cite:key="doe99a" cite:style="year">
<cite:detail cite:units="pages" cite:begin="23" cite:end="24"/>
</cite:biblioref>
On further thought, I wonder if we shouldn't make things a little
easier and just do:
<cite:biblioref cite:key="doe99a" cite:style="year">
<cite:detail cite:units="pages" cite:value="23-24"/>
</cite:biblioref>
... or even:
<cite:biblioref cite:key="doe99a" cite:style="year"
cite:pages="23-24"/>
The latter would require a standard list of attributes there, though,
which might be a little problematic.
