wonderful example. That particular one suggests maybe having it in
JabRef instead of as an offline tool.

Do you have time to sketch something up which takes care of the above
example + the current discussion? I can envision a UI (extensible on
the number of regx/sed/<pick your favourite> grammar) and a checkbox
allowing you to turn them on/off as desired. The hard part is defining
the special sequences like \unicode \latexmath....
Anyway, if you can stub something together to play with then it would
allow more discussion. On the other hand if you integrate it with the
JabRef package (either extension to the interface or standalone utility)
then others can review, use, and poke at it...
