Interesting! On arXiv's docs (https://info.arxiv.org/help/submit_tex.html#biblatex), they state: When uploading the .bbl file for biblatex, it must be compatible with the version of biblatex or Biber on the arXiv at the present time. If your .bbl for biblatex is not compatible then your submission will have errors. But maybe the point is that arxiv-collector doesn't upload a .bbl and works around it by putting it directly in the document or something along those lines. No matter how they achieve it, it sounds like a very useful feature. Scott
