Hi, so since we've got a large number of examples on the examples page, I think it's time to float an initial version of a citation microformat.
I've put a suggestion up on the wiki at http://microformats.org/wiki/citation-brainstorming - I don't claim that it's complete - help fill it in, but keep in mind that we should start out simple. I think I've captured nearly enough to satisfy the 80/20 rule based on the examples we've got, and I think a majority of BibDesk users would be delighted with 50/50! I tried hard to think of it as a microformat first and resist the temptation to include everything I've seen in other bibliographic data formats. I think there's a real danger here of making it complicated enough that it's hard to adopt, possibly more so than with other microformats. I also don't claim to be any good at designing microformats - I just really want to see one, and a bad strawman has to be better than nothing at all. I'm eager to hear where I diverged from the design patterns, exhibited ignorance, or any other criticism.
