Well, if I understand *that* correctly, you suggest to use these forms in LaTeX
documents:

\cite{citekey}
\cite{dbname:citekey}

This is more compact than the "-ID" kludge that I currently use. The only
downside, if at all, is that this citation syntax is different from the one
used in the full style in SGML/XML documents (where, as noted previously, we
must not use a colon). However, this might only confuse those who work with
both LaTeX and SGML/XML. Unless someone else has objections, I'll implement
your suggestion shortly.

Markus
