I think guidelines for both the Styles and the Journal abbreviations
are a good idea.  I also don't feel 100% confident that my Styles are
correct, but I assume that if errors are found either by an Endnote
user or by a journal editor, the discoverer of the error will post
the correction.  For journal abbreviations, I wonder how many different
conventions there are on the "correct" abreviations.  For example,
if I recall correctly, the abbreviations used by Nature are different
from those used by Cell.  Does anyone know if this is correct, and
if so, what the basis is for deciding how to abbreviate journal names?

A second area in which conventions should be established is the format
for posting information at magic.ucsb.edu.  Posting each style individually
would allow easy updating for corrections, and eliminate downloading
things you don't need.  But Styles are very small files, especially
when compressed, and maybe it's easier to download them all in one
transfer.

A similar question concerns compression.  Should we (Mac users) send
Stuffed or Compacted and binhexed files, and should they be self-extracting?
I favor not self-extracting, with the note describing the archiving and
retrieval procedures telling where on Internet tools such as Stuffit
Expander or Compactor may be found.

It seems I recall that Mac and IBM versions of Enote can directly use
the same libraries.  Is this also true for Styles?
