So far the CSL spec is rather format-agnostic when it comes to input. It's
one of the reasons why citeproc-js's support for inline rich text
formatting of titles (
http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/rich_text_bibliography) isn't included in
the spec.
I see the use of what you're proposing, but it is rather HTML-oriented. Are
we comfortable including something like this in the spec, or would it be
better to have a separate (sub)document that focuses on CSL input (which
could also be used to describe the CSL JSON data model)?
