Ok, I've managed to test this a bit, and I think this looks pretty good
so far.

The only question I'd still have is if this could somehow also cover the
reverse situation (going from a note style to author-date). I've noticed
that simply adding a new language rule doesn't work anymore---as opposed
to my initial tests with earlier iterations of that mechanism. Seems
like this mechanism is now only triggered when using a note based style.

Best,
Denis
