Ah! Got it. This is really nice. Thank you. 

I find the best way to support ODT is simply add something like this:

      ((eq format 'odt)
       (format "(%s)" desc))

This doesn't create a bibliography section, but that section is awkward
to export to anyway. It requires the 3rd party Org hack that isn't
officially supported, java, jabref, is awfully slow (~2
seconds/reference), etc. I now put the references inline as above, and
then manually add the references by exporting to PDF and copying/paste
that reference section. 

Not great, but less of a hack than ODT-supported references, and working
with ODT/Word is a hack anyway.

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