Chicago is basically unmaintained at the moment. Oxford style is roughly like 
Chicago in the references in the text, but unlike Chicago in the 
bibliography. In the bibliography, Chicago makes extensive an confusing use 
of periods, whereas Oxford uses commas much in the same way as it does in the 
references in the text.
