I gave it a spin and it was very easy to set up as an org-ref user.
Great work so far. I think an Elisp based implementation has many
strengths like you mentioned in the readme.

What would be the best way moving forward? How easy would it be to
implement a converter for xml-CSL files? Or would it be better to
support the xml-CSL format directly to avoid duplicate work?

Do you already accept bug reports and pull requests on Github?
