hi rasmus,
dunno if this is of any value [possibly negative value via confusion].
cannot respond to all of it, so just a little.

the syntax for citations can be defined to be fixed.

not sure why you are talking about links.
you can write color-start as a user. you can even define a
feature that requires a lambda: $[rasmus-color-start (lambda
(x) (rasmus-stuff))]. or $[rasmus-color ...].
but if we are going to define citations with this syntax,
then we can do so strictly. no need for lambda.

citations can be specific and concrete.
the first atom says it's a citation. it's up to the
developers of citation syntax to decide how specific and
concrete it should be.
maybe you are saying that you don't think it's a good idea
to allow other first atoms. not sure why.

also, those adjectives are up to the developers.
just make it error upon nonstandardness.
the only difference is that you won't have to create the
infrastructure the NEXT time you as a developer or user want
to add syntax.
