That is fine with me, (I think) I won't have one author with several
years thus compression is not important in this case.

Ups, this is seemingly a "bug" in my environment file (which I recycled
from 2004). One definition clashes with t-bib.tex's gotoDOI. But there
is nontheless a bug (see below).

Hmm, I don't know why, but this part works now :-/
I should definitely better test.

However, I still have some problems (see attached testcase):

\setuppublications[alternative=apa]

\cite[author][Slater1954] % produces "()"

\cite[year][Slater1954] % produces "()"

\cite[...][Slater1954]  with ... key, serial, page and type produces
"[]" (some might be ok, though)

\cite[doi][Slater1954] % produces "[  http://dx.doi.org/..../1498]"
with superfluous space and DOI-URL not DOI.
Expected: shows "10.1103/Phys...." not "http://" ...
(The superfluous space disappears when using
\setupinteraction[state=start].)

And using \setuppublications[alternative=aps], I find:

Looks in principle ok, except for the same [doi] as above.

-------------------------

I have another feature with for \cite[author*][...]: I'd like to limit
the displayed name to the family name of the first author. Currently, I
have:   (Firstauthor and Lastauthor,1954) or (Firstauthor et al.,2005),
however to save space I'd like to have only (Firstauthor,2005). I see
andtext, otherstext, but miss the authoretallimit, which I would set to one.

Frankly, I have never seen references of the form (Several authors,
year); I do know, however, references of the form "several authors
(year)". Does APA really uses several authors for authoryear? The name
suggest not, only for authorsyear I would expect it.

If you default to one author for "authoryear" and "author", I'd not mind
to have a "authors" beside "author".
