Just as I hit send on that last one I realize that specifying which
text() node to use in the test was pretty much pointless given that
there can only be ONE text node before or after any given element....
One of those "duh" realizations you get when its too late to change it... :)

How easy is it to have regexp code that can take this:
<para>Acccording to Doe <citation><biblioref
linkend="doe99"/></citation> ...</para>
.... and to see that while standard processing code would yield this:
<p>According to Doe (Doe, 1999) ...</p>
.... the author name is preceding the citation, such that the output
should be:
<p>According to Doe (1999) ...</p>
?
Put differently, would there be a good way to look at the text
immediately preceding a citation (probably in the entire sentence
preceding it) to see if the author is noted there?
I should add that historically (in bibtex for example), the author
would manually code the citation to indicate how it should be
rendered. I'm just wondering if that's really necessary, and perhaps
simply awkward (for example, in a GUI app, it means requiring some
sort of interface for the author to indicate how it ought to be
rendered, while using the approach I'm suggesting above would be much
simpler).
