Comments?
Maybe this has already been covered and I missed it, but why wouldn't
we use HTML nesting to indicate citation nesting? That is, rather
than specify which node is a container with a class name, do it by
actually having it contain the relevant nodes, e.g. (and I'm
proposing this as actual markup, just how nesting could work):
<div class="hcite journal">
<div class="hcite article">
<h3 class="title">Different base/base mismatches are corrected
with different efficiencies by the methyl-directed DNA mismatch-
repair system of E. coli</h3>
</div>
...
<h2 class="title">Cell</h2>
</div>
That would require parsers to know all potential sub-types of each
media type so an article title wouldn't get misinterpreted as a
journal title, but that looks to me like a relatively small burden
for parsers in exchange for simpler publishing.
Peace,
Scott
