I think citations should always be referenced somewhat like *[Meyer2000]*... 
which some macro may use as a reference to an index or tiddler, but 
otherwise not touch. to me, those are unique (reference) identifiers that 
the author of a document (/tiddler) defines in an unambiguous manner, which 
is never generated, and wouldn't be very practical if it was just some 
incremented numeric index of some data tiddler.

In fact, that data tiddler should hold the user defined index, in a 
readable manner, sorted alphabetically... while the value should adhere to 
some common citation style so as to specify a fully qualified source 
reference.

Best wishes,

Tobias.
