I'm rewriting the bibtex code (which is boring as I have to figure out 
what it's about, even more as most bib test files are a mess.

For the moment it will run alongside the traditional mechanism but the 
new one will have a compatibility mode at some point; some characteristics:

- multiple bibtex sessions and mixed styles in one document
- extensive filtering of entries (using the xml subsystem)
- a different method to set up the styles (apa etc)
- a bit of tracing
- access to the full database (or multiple databases)
- no more need for the bibtex program
- new functionality demanding on user input

I got a first version working but as I don't use bibliographies myself 
it needs a bit of motivation to finish it soon. I'll probably ask others 
to prepare the other styles but first I need to clean up some rough edges.

So, in due time we can do such things but you need a bit of patience.
