I came to a similar conclusion for html export, it is very hard
to match bibtex/biblatex to produce a proper bibliography, so one
might as well use it. At one point, the thought of writing a
custom citation style that would output html code crossed my mind
(I think biblatex would allow that), but I just don't use html
export enough. Although if this is possible, it could work with
xml for odt as well.

> Still looking into "lastname (Year)" format...

I hadn't noticed that before, but now that you mention it, I
think this is related to the way you format your bib file.

For example "%A (%y)" with:

1. name = {Darwin, Charles}
   year = {1859}

   will yield "Darwin (1859)"


2. name = {Charles Darwin}
   year = {1859}

   will yield "Charles Darwin (1859)

Not very consistent. This might be something to take to the
AUCTeX guys.
