Well, I agree that Richard hasn't yet implemented an Org mode interface for an appropriate csl-based tool (your 2nd point), but I think we should support him in this effort. There is a lot of programming know-how on this list if he runs into difficulties, so I'm hopeful he'll succeed even if one or more problems prove hard for him. Is your doubt about his eventual success founded in a general skepticism about predicting the future (certainly warranted), or in some particular knowledge about the difficulty of the task? If the latter, perhaps you could help Richard avoid potential problems? All the best, Tom -- T.S.
