When too much changes, often it is not clear what change is meant to illustrate what.

See citation-brainstorming for current thoughts on this. http://microformats.org/wiki/citation-brainstorming See also naming-principles for some of the methodology of how we try to pick property names for microformats: http://microformats.org/wiki/naming-principles > I tend to avoid "citation" because of it has a a tendency to confuse > people accross western languages.
