[Refdb-users] why discarding mnemonic keys (BibTeX,DocBook)?

[Herkenrath <P.H...@un...>]

Hello,
I understand that a ID number is necessary
(primary database key).
I have, however, to manage several BibTeX
databases with 1000+ entries
and I wonder why RefDB discards the mnemonic keys
during import (bib2ris). Personally I can remember
these keys much better when
writing a paper than ID numbers.
