Would it make your life easier?  I notice a couple of
infrastructure-like PRs from you in the PR database, which you could do.

As do we all.

I'm sorry?  I've just reviewed all the messages I have from you in my
-doc archive, and I don't see what's caused you to come to this
conclusion.  As far as I can tell, the only thing we've disagreed on is
how to handle the bibliographic stuff.

That discussion petered out because you wanted a solution that worked
for you immediately, and I wanted something that was more in keeping
with the philosophy behind the markup.  At the time, I had no examples
to demonstrate what I was talking about.

Since this is now somewhat closer to implementation than it was last
time, I think it's appropriate to discuss it in more detail now.
