(just to add to this: I really like the EndNote system of user-configurable output styles, where many are simply bundled but the user can modify, create, post and trade more. I think that would be an excellent approach for an open project to take, hopefully the one we are taking. Ditto the input filters from the various databases.)

This is the single factor which makes it impossible for me to evangelize OOo on campus. Unti OOo can take an endnote DB and use it to manage citations, none of my colleagues will use it. And most won't switch until OOo can use its bibliograhy to create humanities-style (e.g. Chicago Manual of Style) citations.
