Well, once we will have citation support in ODF and OOo and something
similar also in OOXML we would surely try to convert between the
representations. How good this can work depends on how similar the
representations are.

As I wrote I would like to get a better understanding of the
requirements for an exchange between WP and bib application. This could
help us to define an API for it in hopefully abstract terms. Something
using this API could talk to OOo while on the other side each bib
application would work together with another UNO component that
implements this API.
