this looks cool, esp since I hope to integrate this stuff into a
wiki.  

I have to take a bit of a break from this stuff and write some
papers...  A somewhat functional version of that addnote code is still
up at http://www/derailleur.org/webref 

I also made a quick zip file of a slightly improved (but also slightly
broken... ) version of same, with the first steps towards building an
'add references' form.  I would love for people to check that out and
make improvements(!) (comments welcome too...).  You can get that at
http://www.derailleur.org/refdbphp.tar. Please improve it!  Changes to
css and xsl are also EXTREMELY welcome.  

ok, gotta go.
