50 ids for each 50 modifications of the given style makes sense, no? Who is doing 50 copies of the style? In Mendeley we use the styleId from the repository (http://www.zotero.org/styles/ ones, would be ore clear to have the styleIds to http://citationstyles.org/styles/ ?). We only use the http://csl.mendeley.com/styles when a user edits the style. -- Carles Pina | Software Engineer http://www.mendeley.com/profiles/Carles-Pina/ Mendeley Limited | London, UK | www.mendeley.com Registered in England and Wales | Company Number 6419015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
