I agree that even a highly polished version of the current site will still
be difficult for non-technical users. However I think it will be far easier
than a generic XML editor and will enable more users to edit CSL.

Changing values of attributes is relatively straightforward, but the
current tree view still doesn't work very well in showing the style
structure, especially for cs:group and cs:choose elements since you have to
expand and select every node to see what's going on, and I'm having a
really hard time creating a mental map of a style by looking at the tree.
E.g., maybe I want to move the date to follow the title. I can't drag the
element in the formatted example, and it's not very intuitive which element
in the tree should be dragged, and what its destination should be.

I'll think about how to improve this, but I'm not sure about dragging the
formatted output, that would be very tricky to implement. If you can think
of a clearer way to represent the style structure I'm open to ideas.

I often drop an element but nothing happens.

Ah, I'm aware of one bug here with jstree. It happens if you leave the
mouse exactly between two nodes so instead of slightly overlapping one when
dropping. I'll work on it. Thanks.
