We've got a developer who is now working on implementing support for
the new citation coding in OpenDocument*. Assuming he makes good
progress with that, he'll be exposing that via the UNO interface so
that it will be accessible through different language bindings.

In general, OOo really needs coders with expertise with C++, which
seems far less common than Python, Java, etc. We could use more in
other words.
