When you choose 'style' (Chicago etc.) wouldn't be one of in-text or parenthetical already chosen for you? Stated other way, is the choice between parenthetical or in-text document-wide or is it that one could intermix the two styles in the same document. 2. Citation processor like JabRef just takes a cite-key. It doesn't take a pre or post-note. So, the pre and post notes should be spliced in to the exported document by the elisp module that interfaces with the citation processor. If we are going to interface with a citation-processor, the best course of action would be to have someone first 'gauge' the capabilities provided by the citation processor and let that experience inform what Org should aspire to do.
