Interesting development, Sebastian! On Bruce's points ... (1) As Sebastian says, one-click installs work for Zotero and Mendeley. MLZ accepts some non-repo styles, and like Zotero, I cache them on the MLZ project site, and supply the auto-install mime type from there. I've wondered whether that could be supplied in a layer more closely tied to the repo (github.io?) -- to more clearly brand CSL styles as agnostic entities, independent of a specific platform. It might also be good to have a CSL logo mark and publisher-facing guidelines on linking, again for branding purposes.
(2) Thinking out loud, publisher-hosted, publisher-maintained CSL styles would be a very good thing to see, if tied to a CSL certification process. The QA work by Rintze and Sebastian has been very important in bringing things to this stage, perhaps some value can be unlocked there for support of the project.
