>Wow! This is wrong in SPIRES too, ok we have a chance here to improve on
SPIRES. It should say:

Ok, so %%CITATION should fall back to report number, too. Do you know
where the report number or conference number are stored? I think
conference is in {{{773__w}}}. I don't know about report number though.
Having report number fallback should be reasonably easy; right now I think
it's already falling back to {{{773__x}}}.

Ok. This is just because it's stored in the database as D70. We should
be able to do a little light parsing to peel off the leading letters from
the volume subfield and stick them on the end of the name. I can do this
quickly.
>Are we going to put the %%CITATION back in now? How long would that take?
I'm not sure how hard this is. It takes some thought. Perhaps a day?
I'm going to start working on it wherever it falls in the priority queue
with these other issues.
Could you please give me rough ordering of desirability for these issues:
* %% CITATION
* Fallback to report number
* volume letter outside {\\bf}
* bracket placement on arxiv ref for missing pubnotes
I suspect %%CITATION is most important?
