Okay a little better than a list but still functionally separated from
the wiki and Plone documents.

I don't know if that's overly ambitious, but at least in my field we
have arXiv.org references such as hep-ph/0509024 which would be easy to
parse and make a link to the arXiv, as well as a footnote containing the
authors, title, journal reference etc, as would appear in a latex
document.

I want to make it as easy as possible for people to add a \cite{blah}.
The bibliography is already there (or at least accessable on SPIRES
and the arXiv) so all that is needed is for the wiki page to recognize
the \cite.
