The CSL web page says: ,------------------------------------------------------------------------- | While CSL styles only define complete citations, e.g. “(Doe, 2002)”, the | word processor plugins of Zotero, Mendeley, and Papers all allow you to | suppress the author(s) in individual citations, which would leave you | with just “(2002)”. You then have to write the author’s name by hand. `------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, your implementation seems to be ahead in this respect. I'd expect the author would want to have a list of templates for each author-date CSL style, one for parenthetical citations, one for text citations, another for genitive citations, etc. It might even be nice down the road to have a place where these could be stored and shared.
