I actually really think the way they do this is the best way to do  
citation insertion, since it avoids context switching when writing  
(much quicker, and more writer-friendly).

I do, however, see some potential hiccups, like:

1. how to deal with prefix and suffix text?

2. point locators?

3. what happens when you have a footnoted style?

The third one may be the most difficult, particularly when combined  
with the first two.
