OK, then, I think that's settled.
The final issue is about the prefix/suffix thing. Should they be plain
text (as they are now), or should I allow them to have formatting
attached to them?
If the latter, it'd look like this:
<type name="book">
<author alternate="title"/>
<year>
<prefix> (</prefix>
<suffix>) </suffix>
</year>
<title>
<suffix>.</suffix>
</title>
<publisher-place/>
<publisher>
<prefix>:</prefix>
</publisher>
</type>
It's more verbose and difficult to handle, but not significantly so.
For comparison, the alternative would be:
<type name="book">
<author alternate="title"/>
<year prefix=" (" suffix=") "/>
<title suffix="."/>
<publisher-place/>
<publisher prefix=":"/>
</type>
