I'm confused. How is that generated? Would that be the details

No, this is the string generated by the citation formatting code. So
upon coming to the key/URI, Writer knows "I need to load X RDF property
here" as opposed to generating it all.
Seems to me that when and how a 'short citation' is created depends on
the style being used;
Yes, that's the point. These constitute pre-formatted strings.
so it shouldn't be encoded in the unformatted document ...
Well, I think this is where maybe you're thinking like a LaTeX-head ;-)
Part of my thinking is that this approach has two major advantages over
single-process real-time formatting:
1) it's much more performant. Did you know that MS is not correctly
supporting author-date suffixes because they found the (XSLT) process
to be too slow? We wouldn't be stuck with that problem.
2) it's easier to process for the code. You can just run through the
metadata and create the pre-formatted strings and not worry about the
details of position and such in the document (leave that to Writer's
citation code).
Are there plans for styles to 'populate' the types of in-text
citations that they allow, and for those types of in-text citations to
show up in the interface? ie in Latex if I use \usepackage{natbib}
then citet and citep and citeauthor etc are (re)defined (and interact
with the style file to produce the actual in text work). AFAIK,
citeproc style files don't allow that, which means that the citations
commands the user inserts have to globally defined, which seems hard
to do without having all styles already defined.
I've not thought through all the details, but I'm aiming for something
simpler than BibTeX (and other systems like Endnote) but which still
works really well.
