If so, is there *any* advantage is using a processors over say
bibtex.el/reftex-cite.el/org-bibtex-parser.el? We'd get a couple of more
backends, right? But this step can presumably be handled by other tools
as necessary.
If we have to do processing to the extend you describe (or I imagine that
you describe), I'm not sure there's a point in relying on a external tool,
which we cannot easily extend as opposed to fixing bugs we might encounter
in reftex-cite or "forking"/reimplementing functions we need from there.

See above. I then don't see the point.

That's a fair point, but I don't understand it. I haven't looked at your
code! I guess you'd have to generate the whole bibliography to get this
data? It sounds messy... Note, reftex.el + friends is probably equally
messy. And I don't know if it offers any support for bibliographies.
What I gather is that a big selling point of csl is the plentifulness of
styles. But you say we anyway need curated CSL styles to make it work.
But then, is there any advantage of it left?
A similar idea, explored on the list, is using Jabref as a processor. I
don't know about the copyright status, though.

+1.

I guess Jabref supports odt about of the box. I don't know what the
sophistication of Jabref style language is viz-a-viz CSL. I don't
understand if your work aims to support CSL or an "approved" subset of
CSL.

This is major. I don't want to Jabref to manage citation and I would
rather not give it write access to my citation library as it has encoding
issues.

It's a big mystery. tex4ht/oolatex also manages. Some sort of internal
database is generated. I don't know how styling is managed.
