Reading "the use cases MLZ now covers" as improving CSL support for law and
international citing, yes, I would like to keep those targets on the
roadmap. Why wouldn't we?

That's obviously desirable, but for the near-term (say at least a year)
there really isn't a way around maintaining a fork of CSL for MLZ. Frank's
MLZ styles depend on a fair number of modification to CSL proper (see
https://github.com/rmzelle/schema/blob/master/csl-mlz.rnc for the complete
modification schema, as well as
http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-js-csl.html ). Adding support for
all those features in CSL will take quite a bit of time (the main reason
Frank forked CSL in the first place), and they require some progress on
several long-standing issues such as improving identifier support.
As to Frank's question of whether MLZ styles can be added to the
citation-style-language styles repo, I would prefer not to for the time
being. I'd be happy to work with him to bring as many MLZ-CSL features to
CSL proper once we get 1.0.1 out of the door, though.
