Thanks for the requests.  

Numbering is done by ox-jabref.el and not by JabRef application, so
these requests can indeed be met with 5-15 minute of effort.  But I
hesitate to 

The main problem is there are just too many styles a Bibliographic
Reference can be typeset - right from what some standard says, to what
my university wants to what I prefer myself.  

This is where some sort of common agreement - even just among the
members of the community - will help.  I will keep listening to the
conversation and hopefully an opinion will emerge during the course of
time.

If you use "Numbered" transcoders, then the citekeys are processed one
by one.  So if there are 10 citekeys, then there will be 20 invocations
of command line.

One way of dealing with this is to choose a transcoder, that doesn't
enumerate.  In that case the Bibliographic Reference is created enbloc.
So the number of command line invocations will reduce to 11 = 10 + 1.
The ASCII document that I circulated gives examples of such transcoders.

Caching of citekey->XML or whatever transformation is one option.
Another option is to just disable citations for casual exports and
enable it one for the final output.

Something like

   cite:t 

for #+OPTIONS.

For now you can customize `org-odt-citation-transcoders' so that
citation processing is disabled.
