RefDB and Jurabib

Does anyone think it would be a good idea, and if so how feasible would 
it be, to integrate support for the additional BibTeX fields used by 
Jurabib into RefDB?

Jurabib (http://www.jurabib.org) is widely used in law and the 
humanities for writing citations that ordinary BibTeX, and RefDB for 
that matter, don't support.[0]  It is supported by recent versions of 
LyX and has an Emacs mode.  Sadly, its next release will be its last, 
but it is already pretty feature-complete.

Although it's too late for my current PhD thesis, I'm looking to moving 
from my current document workflow (LyX + BibTeX + RefDB -> DocBook -> 
formats) to include Jurabib (LyX + BibTeX + Jurabib + RefDB? -> formats) 
so that I can have proper formatting of my references.  However, I would 
be sad to cut RefDB out of the equation (I am already resigned to 
cutting out DocBook).

[0] Basically it's as simple as having footnotes that include all
     the same information as the bibliography entries.  See the thread
     at
