I don't think that a significantly large number of users may want to
do that, and even those people can do that separately.
I like the idea of context independent entries. If I extract a part
of my bibliography for a friend, I needn't pick all necessary
authors, too.
As far as language dependent names are concerned: If you refer to
something, you must give the original data. So even if you cite the
TeXbook in a Chinese journal, you must write Knuth with Latin
letters. The script is part of the bibliography entry and therefore
I see no need for this sort of "language switchboard" that you
propose.

A whole XML document. But no tag must be left open.
Tschoe,
