A quick word of caution here; we got excited about citeproc-js until learning that it actually requires a specific extension compiled into the Javascript interpreter, E4X: <http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-doc.html#javascript-interpreters>
This is fine and cool, but is not as widely supported as Javascript itself; eg. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and a number of server-side Javascript engines do not have E4X support:

That said, I'm very excited about CSL in general and this thread in particular — structured citation parsing is what I dream about at night. Great stuff.
