some more items to put on the wish list
---------------------------------------

1. sometimes, words are italicized in the title of a book.  if the style
italicizes the title (chicago), endnotes should romanize the italicized
words.  e.g.  a book is titled _the romance of iskandername_, where
iskandername is italicized.  when formatted, "the romance of" should be in
italics and "iskandername" should be roman.

2. there is no provision for small caps in a style.  small caps are
required by _the bluebook: a uniform system of citation_ which is the
standard for all law journals.

3. there need to be better editing & navigation capabilities:
cmd-shift-right & -left should select a word; the [> key on the extended
keyboard should do a forward delete; cmd-up-arrow & -down-arrow should
close the current reference's window & open the next reference, etc.

4. date of creation & revision should be attached to every reference.

5. records which have been exported, edited, and imported should not result
in the loss of reference IDs.  it should be possible to import & superced
the data in an existing reference.  missing tags (i.e. no %A) means that
that field should not be changed; empty tags (%A <cr>) means that the data
in that field should be deleted.

6. when importing records from an OPAC (eureka, MELVYL), there should be an
option to de-AACr2 the title. e.g.  _A machine that would go of itself / by
Michael Kammen_ should be converted to _A Machine That Would Go of Itself_
before being stored in the reference.

7. similarly, it should be possible to de-AACr2 the author field by
removing the year of birth & death.
