I have the competing ALWD manual, but recognize the Blue Book is more widely used. Just a reminder: if people want to help at this stage, one way would be to try to precisely model some real world example styles (like the Blue Book) in CSL. I have already done Chicago, APA and a few others, and it works fine for those styles, some of which have pretty difficult requirements. But I really don't have time to test more widely. What do you need to do this? Pretty much just a validating XML editor that will handle RELAX NG. I recommend both the emacs nxml mode, and the commercial Java application oXygen. It's essential that you validate what you do against the schema.
