No, that's wrong, not the database should be replaced. The goal is to
make citations a first class citizen in the org world (so no fallback
to LaTeX commands or links with special handlings are needed).

Hmmm... nowadays one uses biblatex[fn:1] (with its companion biber)
which makes hacking bibliography styles quite easy (in LaTeX; compared
to customizing bst files). I do not think that the current discussion
will lead to writing bib-styles in Lisp instead of LaTeX (at least not
in the foreseeable future).
