Hey, I am doing just that right now ;-)

I agree completely.

I've looked at your web page for this.  I like your solution.  It is not
complete but we know that a complete solution for citations, given all
the weird and wonderful formats journals etc. expect, requires a very
complex database of style information (witness bst and csl files).  For
a quick 'n' dirty solution, keeping to emacs lisp and org is very
appealing.

However, it is most appealing for those of us coming from the bibtex
world...
