That looked very pretty, but it was somewhat hard to read.  I think
the furious fruit salad approach to citation coloration may be
appropriate -- one (more often than not) needs to read all the text,
and it's important to "feel" who wrote what.  So doing a Shades Of
Purity thing (by default) with the citation colors might be the wrong
thing to do.
