So based on back-and-forth with the product manager responsible for
the new bib support in Word 2007*:

1) they won't support footnote/endnote citations in v1
2) seems (?) they don't support first/subsequent distinctions in author-year
3) they think it perfectly fine to have styles implemented in raw XSLT
(they don't appear interested in using CSL or a CSL-like abstraction)

So this tells us where we can differentiate OOo. There's going to be a
lot of frustration with their default support, particularly among the
historians.

Also, on 3, it should possible to swap in a citeproc-like solution,
and so get support for CSL in Word through the back door. Hmm ...
wonder if I should try to productize citeproc for the Word market?
;-)
