Thinking this through: there is actually a third challenge to the 
approach, which is ensuring the relation of the citation callouts and 
the bibliography is correct.  For example, if using a numeric or alpha 
style, how to be sure the labels are the same in the citation and the 
bibliography.  Even in other styles, such as author-year, if 
disambiguation rules come into play (e.g. (Smith 1987a, Smith 1987b)), 
how to be sure the same rules are being applied by pandoc/CSL (on the 
citations) and biblatex (in the bibliography).  As far as I can tell, 
this will hang on sorting, something which biblatex is known to be more 
capable than other tools, so that I would expect differences (at least 
potentially).  Styles such as verbose or author-title would probably be 
safe, I guess.  Have you given some thought about this?  If so, how are 
you handling the case?

Best,
Gustavo.
