Cool!

Particularly once Zotero is implementing the same thing (is it yet?),
it might be worth trumpeting this as rather more open than Endnote's
equivalent. E.g. this:

"The Word and OpenOffice plugins now store a mini-library of cited
publications inside your documents.  When updating a Word document,
Mendeley Desktop can import citations from the Word document back into
your Mendeley library if necessary (for example, if you cited a
publication which has subsequently been removed from your library)."

... sounds like marketing material on Endnote from the 1990s ;-)

How about adding something like:

"The citation data is stored in an open and documented format [insert
link], which opens the door to sharing documents among collaborators
using different references managers that support the same format.
Mendeley puts a high priority on both your data and the documents you
create with it being as open as possible."

E.g. you've done the work towards that end, so market it.
