I think we're on the same page here. I was just talking about the info about which items have been cited, which pages, prefixes, suffixes, etc. All that stuff that is basically already there...

I see...

Tags/Ids are unique, for sure. But, if you render a bibliography based on everything in the bib-file, you might end up with 
Doe 2005a
Doe 2005b
etc.
but in the end you'll remove Doe 2005b, so the whole a/b stuff isn't necessary anymore.

Yes, looks reasonable.

There are some examples on this page https://github.com/jgm/citeproc/blob/master/man/citeproc.1.md
Does that help or do you need to know more?

Anyway, this adds the citeproc executable as a dependency. Maybe they can make that functionality from pandoc proper.
