I had a passing fling with Supercite several years ago.  I stopped
mostly because my citations looked different from everyone else's, and
the styles didn't really play well together.  The style I really
wanted was a composite indent-and-attribute style like

  Adam> second-level post
 MJ> Your reply to adam.
DZM> If only Supercite did what I wanted!

The other problem I never figured out how to solve is filling in
"other" attributions -- where you quote Adam quoting you, the ">>"
should get replaced with your own initials, but that involves some
logic capable of searching the article history and figuring that out.

My guess is sc-citation-leader, poking at some variables.
