Yes but I'd rather specify the style used for et al separately (and in

to do if you are the 3rd occurrence of a reference to a 500 author paper
on high energy pysics.

Am not following.  Can you explain again?

Currently I have this:

    <names initialize-with=". " shorten-after="3" and-as=" &amp;"/>

... which IS apart from the citation and bibliography elements, and so is global for the style.

However, I've since found out the APA style specifies two different rule sets: one for citations and another for bibliographies.

So we need to allow configuration in two places; not any more. Most citation style would only have a single rule:

<rule min-authors="4"...

As for occurrence in the text, all that matters is whether it's the first, or not, and many style don't even care about that distinction.
