Here, I think it's especially helpful to distinguish "round trip"

we need to be able to use or mimic biblatex, or whatever, to get the
bibliographic information into some final form.
Yes, maybe. But isn't the real and more serious problem, at least in the
humanities, that you are forced to submit papers and chapters in Word format,
notwithstanding if this is collaboration work or an individual's work?
The possibility to export and re-import strikes me rather secondary compared to
that. But this is of course again just my own experience.
This sort of thing has been frequently requested just for XHTML: Parse
the bbl file and use that to construct the bibliography. So perhaps the
problem should be solved there first.
I suppose things get significantly trickier if biblatex comes into play.
Parsing bbl files does not suffice there.
I don't have experience with biblatex. Isn't there some intermediate
file we could parse?
Alternatively, there is the possibility of using modules to define
citation formats.
