Escaping the colon works perfectly, after testing.

I had one other query.  When I convert to docx, the foreign titles are put 
into sentence case, despite the fact that I have the language field set. 
 So, for example, the entry in my bibtex file:

@BOOK{Weinrich1998-zr,
  title     = "Die Lichtbrechung in den Theorien von Descartes und Fermat",
  author    = "Weinrich, Klaus",
  publisher = "F. Steiner",
  series    = "Sudhoffs Archiv: Beihefte",
  year      =  1998,
  address   = "Stuttgart",
  language  = "de"
}

turns up in my bibliography as: Weinrich, Klaus. 1998. *Die Lichtbrechung 
in Den Theorien von Descartes Und Fermat*. Sudhoffs Archiv: Beihefte. 
Stuttgart: F. Steiner.


with "den" and "und" capitalized (but not "von"!).  I see this behavior 
whether or notI explicitly include the Chicago csl file from the Zotero 
repository, or just use the pandoc default.
