So that is to say we need to be able to express the following
distinctions (did I miss anything?):
  - in-text vs. parenthetical (parencite vs. textcite)
  - normal citation vs. multi-cite citation with common pre and
    post notes (-s variants)
  - producing a full bibliography entry, or not (-full- variants)
  - footnoted, or not (foot- variants)
  - producing output, or not (nocite)

I am not sure about that the last two need to be represented in citation
syntax itself.  Do we need a separate way of indicating that a citation
should appear in a footnote?  Org already has footnote syntax...can't
authors just put citations in an Org footnote? 

As for nocites, I liked your earlier suggestion that we have a #+NOCITE
keyword (which could be specified multiple times).  So I am not
sure this needs to be in citation syntax proper, either.

As I've said in other posts, I think maybe we should not think of these
as `citation' commands and thus don't need to represent them in citation
syntax.  Instead I suggest we give authors tools to insert this
information into documents directly.

Best,
Richard
