Let me put this is the most straightforward terms possible: Any style that currently uses "sub verbo" as a condition is completely invalid. So effectively, for implementations, it's as if the term doesn't exist for purposes of conditional testing (e.g. you shouldn't be coding citeproc-js to accept "sub verbo" as a condition in my view because you're going out of your way to accept a broken style). Therefore, I do think there's some urgency in fixing this; in say the next couple of weeks. It's an infrequently enough used term that a simple search-and-replace on the following repos should suffice: - docs - schema - locales - styles That, plus rolling in the spec changes in author grouping should be a reasonable 1.0.1 release.
