Two things:

First, after adding a style, I can't see how to subsequently remove it
using this interface, to just have "[cite:@key]". Is that possible?

In my formatting function for OC, which is simpler than your's in some
ways, I have a named "default" style, with that as the
ido-completing-read "initial-value", which is then removed if
selected.

In practice, what that means is if the user is prompted for the style
but hits return, they select "default", and hence the result is
"[cite:@key]".

But they can also, of course, select the other named styles instead.

It seems efficient and clear to me, and if the answer to my question
above is "no", it could be a reasonable approach to address this.

Second, the "nil" vs "empty" distinction was obviously not immediately
intuitive to me. I don't have a better name for "nil" ATM though, so
maybe it will be fine. Hopefully people won't have the need to use it
much.
