BibLaTeX has 6 standard "subtypes", which it calls "standard commands".
A citation style can provide any number of specialized commands in
addition to the 6 standard commands.
The various citation styles that ship with BibLaTeX together include
seven specialized commands, for a total of 13.
In this design, the potential explosion in subtypes has been pretty well
kept in check. Does that make the design of BibLaTeX a good model for
Org mode?
All the best,
Tom
