[xbiblio-devel] "supra" redux (important)

[Bruce D'A. <bd...@gm...>]

So I thought I could support the Bluebook "supra" case with this simple 
solution:

     <layout suffix="." delimiter="; ">
       <text macro="author"/>
       <choose>
         <if position="first">
           <text macro="title" prefix=", "/>
           <text variable="volume" prefix=", "/>
           <text variable="container-title" prefix=" "/>
           <text variable="page" prefix=" "/>
           <text variable="locator" prefix=" "/>
           <text macro="issuance" prefix=" "/>
           <text macro="access" prefix=", "/>
         </if>
         <else>
           <text value="supra" prefix=", "/>
           <text value="note" prefix=" "/>
           <text variable="citation-number" prefix=" "/>
         </else>
       </choose>
     </layout>

But it turns out not to be the case, since the "citation-number" 
variable in fact refers to the citation reference, not the note, and so 
breaks with multi-reference citations/notes.

This is kind of an awkward problem, actually. What now is called 
"citation-number" is actually probably better called "reference-number", 
while "citation-number" actually makes sense for this case.

If I had my druthers, I'd make the changes suggested by the last 
paragraph, but that would introduce another backward-compatible change.

Simon, are you fine with me changing this? Are the rest of you fine with 
this?
