Re: wip-cite status question and feedback

I'm going to split off the syntax part of your email, Nicholas, for
quick comment.

I need to think more about the other questions.

Good; no issues that I see with this at all.

Only question is I see you removed whitespace after the prefix on your
citet: example.

Is the expectation (which is reasonable; am just asking) that prefixes
would add the whitespace after it on output, so users don't have worry
about this?

So in other words, the value of an affix would be a trimmed string?
