Thank you all for your comments. I’ll go with pamphlet then.

One thing I forgot to ask: At somoe places, years should be formtatted with two digits if year \< 2000 and with four digits otherwise. Am I right in assuming that that’s not possible? At least I haven’t found it in the documentation. It’s a requirement that I met in various (legal and non-legal) styles already, especially when dealing with EU sources.
