AFAICS, the situation is rather complex: Org (the main branch)
currently contains five export processors (basic, bibtex, natbib,
biblatex and csl), but only a single activation processor called
"basic". Of the five export processors the three LaTeX-based ones
already support the "*" key in nocite citations, and the CSL processor
could also with my proposed patch, leaving only the "basic" one
without this feature.
I think that the problem with simply adding one or more new activation
processors with different fontification for the "*" key is that Org
has no way of knowing (at least for sure) which export processor will
be used for a exporting a certain Org buffer, since it can depend on
the chosen export backend (see the variable
org-cite-export-processors). E.g., org-cite could be set up to use the
"natbib" processor for "LaTeX" export and the "basic" processor for
any other format. I think that it'd be more in the spirit of the
"basic" activation processor to be more permissive and not treat "*"
as an error, similarly to citation styles not supported by the "basic"
export processor but supported by others.
best wishes,
András
