Let me expand a bit on my problems here:

RefDB does not support extended citations (Smith, 1999:33-34), and they 
are *essential* to my work.  So I can't use it now for processing.

I've hacked Bibliofile (soon to be renamed BiblioX) to handle this 
support with MODS data, and Peter Flynn (the author) is currently 
implementing more comprehensive inline support.

So...I'm in a bind here, and I've got deadlines!   My primary data is 
currently MODS (mostly converted from Endnote), but I really need Peter 
to finish bibliofile, and for RefDB to support, in order of priority:

1)   extended citations (the new biblioref element in DocBook)

2)  MODS import/export
