Hi,
I realize you list Pandoc features, but I will still point out some issues
with this syntax.

What is the point of an locator? Why not just suffix? Presumably, if I
want to put pp. in front of my page numbers or whatever I can do it with
a filter or manually.

I fail to understand this feature. The Pandoc manual uses something like
this an example: A said X in @-key; which I think is bad practice. In
latex you'd write \citeauthor{key} said X in \citeyear{key}. Unless we
can access other keys, why adopt a special operator for year? Why not
title or author which are e.g. useful when using number citations?q

This is another, to me, illogical structure.
[A @key B]
@key [B]
It is not obvious that [B] relates to @key in the second example.
