OK.

One of the nice things about the current OpenOffice proposal -- itself built off the recently-approved DocBook biblioref element -- is that the citation code would be in its own namespace. So that could make things easier later (for example, use the same citation code for both OpenOffice and WordML).

(Actually, you're already using an intermediate format, so you'd
actually build a DocBook -> intermediate format transformation.)

You mean MODS becomes that "intermediate format"?  Or something else?
