Hello, I think I might be re-stating Frank's suggestion here.
For mendeley:// links, we have an intermediate URL at open.mendeley.com (eg. http://open.mendeley.com/library/filter/mendeley-suggest) which forwards to mendeley:// or gives the user further steps if they do not have Mendeley installed. We could provide a similar page on citationstyles.org which would handle the details of getting the style into the user's app. A simple implementation would present a list of apps and clicking one would forward to that app (eg. via a mendeley:// link, or a direct CSL link for Zotero) or provide suitable instructions. Regards, Rob.
