       | Interesting, but the simpler way is to use plain html with
       | microformats [1], so this:                 @book{kn:gnus,
       | AUTHOR = "Donald E. Knudson",       TITLE = "1966 World Gnus
       | Almanac",       PUBLISHER = {Permafrost Press},       ADDRESS =
       | {Novosibirsk} }
       | 
       | becomes this:                 <div class="book" id="kn:gnus">
       | <div class="author">Donald E. Knudson</div>        <div
       | class="title">1966 World Gnus Almanac</div>        <div
       | class="publisher">Permafrost Press</div>        <div
       | class="address">Novosibirsk</div>       </div>
