thanks for the well-sumarized comments. I'm currently discussing with
Oren concepts and goals for an implementation of BibTeX based on the
requirements written by Wonneberger/Mittelbach in TUB some time ago,
papers by David Rhead, etc. Yours is a welcome addition and David
Rhead has forwarded it to Oren and we will discuss it once we reach
the language depending issues.

Let me say for the moment that I consider the multilingual component
of ltx3 and thus of BibTeX1 an integral part of the project and with
therefore consider any propals in this direction with great care.
