Yes, that's what I meant.

Do you really think so? Well, OK, nothing against that.

I absolutely agree. My suggestion was a compromise between the features 
I urgently need and the time Jens has to realise them.

That would be really great! Actually I really have this problem of 
different ways of citation. And I would prefer the second solution -- 
whereas the possibility to determine the delimiters globally for a 
special archive or subarchive would be fine. Note that sometimes there 
are even different ways of citation for documents from even one archive.

Let's collect nice feature requests. :-)

Jens, what's the best way? Working on basic functionality and 
implenting new features later, or collecting all feature requests first?

I fear he's rather shocked about the development archival style 
takes... ;-)

Not in my case, not in my case,.. ;-)

Yes, but I thinks thats even easily implemented.

  So long,
