We need to deal with bibliographic details for things like chapters in
a book, articles in a journal or magazine, and issues in a series.
For designing a format, the main problem is that there are duplicate
items that need to be scoped - for instance, both the article and the
journal have a title.
I actually brought this up in December in response to Brian's straw
format[1],
but the words I thought to use were "collection" or "in". I like "in"
largely
because some citation formats actually use that word to describe this
type of
relationship:

"In", being a preposition, sounds kludgy on its own, but reads very well
within the code:
<p class="hcite">
...
<span class="in hcite">
..
</span>
</p>
Note too that this problem exists for other parts of citations, like
publisher data: most book citations are published with the city of
publication, but this is more appropriately the `adr` field of a nested
hcard for the publisher. Here, nested data is appropriate to the top-
level
citation as well.
