This has rather extensive support for frontmatter and bibliography handling, trying to provide consistent markup for the author, but radically different presentation styles for various journals. It would be simpler to implement such a scheme using the proposed interface for latex classes described in the carlisle/mittelbach/rowley talk at tug99, the slides for which (pdf) were handed in to the conference organisers and so should be appearing on the www.tug.org/tug99 site sometime soon (I hope) David
