Good idea!  Also good news about KWord, which I've been testing a bit 
on OS X.

Previously I advocated using refdb as a basis for the bibliographic 
module project at OOo.

I doubt that'll happen, but certainly at some point it ought to be 
possible to use refdb with OOo.  I'm not convinced the citation support 
in the file format is currently well-suited to processing by refdb 
though.  Hopefully that'll change...
