Excellent.

Now *all* I need to do is to properly associate this with a Bibliography text field, and at a minimum to hook the mechanism for the generation of the citation string (XTextField::getPresentation() ? (not sure exactly how to do that, but .. )

I'm not really sure exactly how all this ought to fit together. I had imagined some kind of createReferenceList() method that would create an array of reference objects, and then from the citations your getPresentation() method to grab the formatted text. There would then be something similar for the bibliography formatting.

Does that make any sense?

The devil is in the details*, and so am not sure the best way.

* see this example output from my citeproc stylesheets:

If you look carefully, the formatting is partly dependent on relative position. See the "ibid" example, and note 2.
