I've checked in this one.

I'm not sure about this one though. Is "HEAR" really treated like a
book rather than like an article? I have to admit that I don't have
the faintest idea what a "HEAR" really looks like and how it is
published. Are there any examples available online?

You know bibtex far better than me so I assume this change is correct.

This makes sense to me.

Thanks for providing these improvements. I'm glad someone stress-tests
the bibtex support as I can't do this myself.
