I'm not able to test this closely ATM, but a few things ...

One of the things I've wondered about, but cannot offer any expertise
on (really, I have no clue), is how this might work for languages like
Arabic or Mandarin.

So the upshot is if users want this functionality for LaTeX/PDF, they
should use oc-biblatex for that export target?

Here's the scenario I believe Denis was concerned about:

#+begin_quote
... block with citation at end. [cite:@doe]
#+end_quote

I think in standard author-year styles, we'd want:

... block with citation at end. (Doe, 2020)

... while in note-based and "US" (space removed):

... block with citation at end.[1]

Not sure if that has any practical import, but just to clarify.
