Well, that's their problem; how hard can it be? Mendeley guys? Zotero guys?

I guess I'll go back to my earlier question in reply: How does having style branches (as well as updated schema and specification releases) for every trivial (x.x.x) change help anyone? What work will implementers (or even worse, users) have to do just to accommodate this approach, and how would that work compare to what I'm suggesting here (my guess is my suggestion is easier to implement)? I think we're overloading the notion of a CSL version change to cover too many issues.
