There may be trade-offs, but if you get too typesetting-oriented, 
you cause other problems.

An example description:
   
   <Paper rdf:about="http://ex.net/1">
      <title>Paper</title>
      <author>
         <Person>
            <givenName>John</givenName>
            <familyName>Smith</familyName>
         </Person>
      </author>
      <presentedAt>
         <Conference>
            <title>ABC Conference</title>
            <endDate>2004-03-12</endDate>
            <startDate>2004-03-15</startDate>
         </Conference>
      </presentedAt>
   </Paper>

This is indeed more "database-oriented", complete with the capability 
to normalize all of that by breaking out persons and such into separate
descriptions and linking them. But it's not hard to process for 
formatting either (easier than MODS I think).

Correct. Subversion repo for the entire project (including schema 
for CSL, and the start of a Ruby port of citeproc) is here:
