I obviously can't speak for John, but on this:

As I said in an earlier message, it's no problem to add these. Someone
can always add the bibentry/fullcite style to oc-csl later, if and
when Andras adds the functionality to citeproc-el.

Though it's feasible, I doubt you'll ever see citenum in CSL, since
those sorts of low-level commands don't really fit there.

But that also is not a problem.

The mapping defcustom is currently only in oc-biblatex. It might be
worth adding it to oc-natbib, and so generalizing how these mappings
are handled in latex?
