Glad there is interest in abbreviations! I've been juggling things
around privately for the past month, and I think I have a handle on
the requirements -- which means that now is probably a good time to
get critical feedback.

I need to prepare a document describing what the categories in the
Abbreviations Gadget (and processor) mean, and how the abbreviations
in each are applied. This weekend I'll be tied down with some other
tasks, but I should have something readable up within a week or so
after. Meanwhile, there's this:

  http://citationstylist.org/2011/11/04/citation-friendly-metadata-for-law/

On the one question up so far, I nearly cut out the "default" segment,
and then discovered that it was needed as a jurisdiction namespace,
for legal styles.

More later ...
