Thanks for all your comments. I have fixed the Author issue, it now
concatenates them with " and ". I have also changed the "" to {} so
now i don't have escape quotes. It is all uploaded so you can keep
testing. (i still need to escape non-ascii characters, but that is not
really an issue with the microformat)
No, and depending on how the bibtex is being consumed, you may be able
to get away with UTF-8 anyway.
i'm not sure if we should move technical issues to the dev list and/or
we should keep the debate about KEYs and other Citation issues on the
discuss list?
Now that I have a working implementation, I've subscribed to the dev
list. I'll post there about any X2C bug reports & suggestions.
I think the debate about keys, etc belongs on discuss, though - since
I assume most of the participants aren't on -dev.
