Yes indeed. I am experimenting with this.
A small problem is:

bib.xml:270: error: AttValue: " or ' expected
<author><firstname>C</firstname><othername role=mi>U</othername><surname>Press<

e.g. missing quotes around mi (should be role="mi"), which I can change
manually. I'd be also glad to correct it in the corresponding stylesheet,
but I haven't quite yet grasped refdb's logic as to which driver file is
used for this conversion .. could you comment ?

Are there any options/parameters to the driver stylesheet ? Eg I am not
interested in details like isbn, issuenum etc. So I'd just like a selection
of items/turning some off.

Thanks in advance,
