 Sorry Bruce this seems to make a bit more difficult.

To make it even more complicated (but maybe not) -- American lawyers in most
of their works (be it pleading to the court or scholarly writing -- BTW, I
think that for US lawyers could well developed bibliography management make
OOo killing feature which would make them switch from WordPerfect
(finally :-)) have something they call Table of Authorities. It is some
mixture between table of contents (and legal texts having ToA have ToC as
well), index and list of references. Basically it lists all references
(cases, regulations, laws, legal journals, and anything else) which is used
in the text as an authority. Whole list is divided into categories for each
type of reference.

Some examples of how to do it (with Word or WordPerfect):

* http://www.law.berkeley.edu/library/computing/toa.pdf
* http://www.microcounsel.com/BRIDGE86.HTM
* http://www.u.arizona.edu/~llanger/table_of_authorities.htm

Some examples of how it does look
* http://www.lambdalegal.org/binary-data/LAMBDA_PDF/pdf/357.pdf (see page
iii)
* http://www.epic.org/free_speech/censorware/cyberpatrol/ct_app_brief.pdf
(see page iv, but formatting is IMHO weird).

Just food for thoughts,

I just came across the CiteIt! legal citattion application, which does
among other things auto TOA generation.  Demo is here:

http://www.sidebarsoft.com/product/demo.htm

So it seems to me this is more TOC territory than citation/reference
list, though there's clearly overlap.

Interesting, BTW, to see the sort of reference types the app supports.
Many of them I'd have never thought of! It becomes a bit tricky,
because I think it's important to standardize the type list and such,
but it's also very difficult to do this without leaving out certain
use cases.
