A bibliography is just about (cross) referencing data. If that data 
comes from elsewhere it can best kept indepdendent. One can of course 
store some reference but why the data if it is not used in some special 
way.

Sure, but some parseble format might be better if one wants control over 
rendering. Basically we're talking about some pseudo formatted 
bibliography entry with some unique tag as reference.

In what sense? Aren't the 'tags' or id's unique? Anyway, one can

- let \cite write some refe to soem file
- that file gets pandoc'd to a bibliography list
- that then gets included

if that list is in some parsable format (like html width classes) we can 
easily pick up info (if needed) and do nmore

we can handle json indeed, so hwo does such a json look like? can you 
make an example?
