The question is this: in footnote styles, how SHOULD a citation that
appears inside a note be formatted? Clearly not as a footnote, but
unfortunately beyond that the style won't give us guidance. Should
it be a separate sentence? In parentheses? In brackets? These are
all stylistic variations, but the style can't help us here because
it's a note style.
If this question could be answered, perhaps progress could be made.
John (or anyone else interested in this issue) - have you checked how citeproc-js (Zotero and such) deals with this?
This has been a known issue since the foundation of CSL (I distinctly remember talking in terms of a distinction between "footnoted citations" and "citations in footnotes" a long time ago), so I have to believe it's been solved, even if I don't remember how.
