Hello Erik
Good news.
Getting a frugal Zotero-based citations is *definitely* possible. It is
just a matter of time. Your libraries already provide the necessary
plumbing to accomplish the job.
Long story
==========
For my own understanding, I tried trimming down zot4rst to it's bare
essentials and the attached zotcite.py is the result.
What zotcite does is this:
For two Zotero Items, it prints their Bibliogrpahic entries and their
Citation Reference, in "Text" format using Chicago-Author-Date style.
I believe a commandline interface could be built around this file along
the following lines. (Will you be interested in building this interface
for us?)
$ zotcite --style chicago --format <text> --items I1, I2 --print biblio
$ zotcite --style chicago --format <text> --items I1, I2 --print citeref
Once this is done, Emacs/Org can do invoke zotcite and get the required
Bibliographic definitions and references using "shell-command".
The assumption is that Emacs/Org somehow has captured zotero keys
through org-protocol or org-zotero.el or someother means.
Here is a output from zotcite.py.

IIRC, I made two changes to the export.js in your Javascript backend.
1. I had trouble understanding the organization of citation clusters. So
I modified getCitationBlock as below. Note the use of "true" as a
second param of the appendCitationCluster. This is OK as
registerItemIds already does updateItems().
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
function getCitationBlock (citation) {
var results;
var str = "";
try {
results = zotero.reStructuredCSL.appendCitationCluster(citation, true);
} catch (e) {
zotero.debug("XXX oops: "+e);
}
// var index = citation['properties']['index'];
// for (var i = 0 ; i <= results.length ; i++) {
// // if (results[i][0] == index) {
// return escape(str + results[i][1]);
// // }
// }
return escape(results[0][1]);
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
2. There should be way to set the output format form python side of
things. I had to modify instantiateCiteProc by hand to set the output
format to "text". You know what output format that LibreOffice plugin
uses? I see "text", "html" and "rtf" as output formats. But not ODT.
See https://bitbucket.org/fbennett/citeproc-js/src/tip/src/formats.js
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
function instantiateCiteProc (styleid) {
// Suspenders and a belt.
try {
if (!styleid) {
styleid = "chicago-author-date";
}
if (styleid.slice(0,7) !== 'http://') {
styleid = 'http://www.zotero.org/styles/' + styleid;
}
zotero.debug("XXX does this exist?: " + styleid);
var style = zotero.Styles.get(styleid);
zotero.reStructuredCSL = style.csl;
zotero.reStructuredCSL.setOutputFormat("text");
} catch (e) {
zotero.debug("XXX instantiateCiteProc oops: " + e);
}
};
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Btw, I found that with my 2-day old zotero database and for printing the
above 2 keys, the whole machinery takes a perceivably a lot of time. Is
this your experience as well? I am not a netbook.
