Looking at the citestylex.dtd again, there's actually no restriction
what may appear in the in-text citation. It's apparently possible to
design a style that renders the full bibliographic data in-text. What
appears to be missing is a clean way to suppress the bibliographic
listing which I figure would not be used if you use full citations.

citestylex.dtd supports this already.
