i have no comments on citations per se. i just think the syntax we
design should, if possible, be so general that it can be used for
future features, including 100% unrelated features, and also for
future subfeatures of any feature, including citations. to me, that
means plist or similar.
basically, i am concerned about syntax creep in the big picture and
its downstream consequences. for example, it's more efficient to
support, and for the user to remember, a single general syntax than a
whole bunch of special syntaxes.
if everybody is already thinking along the same lines, great.
