Before my latest patch, these citations probably did work. I've implemented this
version a while ago to move to a citation syntax familiar to LaTeX users, i.e.
use the citation key in curly brackets. However, this does not allow a safe
distinction of citation keys with and without a database part. In order to
support multiple databases I had to revert this to the original format where
the citation key is prefixed with "ID" or "dbname-ID". The following is
supposed to work:

 This is a test of the RefDB application used in conjunction with
 vim-latexsuite.  Here is a reference \cite{IDAgnew0}.  Here is another
 \cite{otherdb-IDWeckert0}.

I'm open for suggestions if you know a better way to safely distinguish database
names from the citation key proper.

While testing the code I came across a problem with bibliography entries which
contain ampersands. The ampersand seems to be a control character in
LaTeX/bibtex and needs to be escaped in the bibtex output. I'll look into this
shortly.

regards,
Markus
