Eh... my gut is really uncomfortable about this approach. For instance,
what if we remove the first citation entry?

Certainly. I'll take this opportunity to say that I find this a very
interesting project, and that I would really like to contribute[*].
However, that wouldn't be until at the earliest in November, so until then
I'll probably only be able to give comments.

[*] My scope/ambition for using bibliographies migth differ a lot from
yours. So I need to make it clear now that I'm not really interested in
developing a "quick hack" that does not scale to my needs (no insults
intended!). If I don't think that the design has the potential to
*eventually* be good enough I'm not interested to spend time on it. Of
course, I'll still give comments etc as time permits.
