I forgot to reply to this point. See lines 412 - 427 of the SVN version of
csl.rnc. If you rearrange the indentation you get

which makes it obvious that the attribute “form” can be used together with
“macro” or “point-locator”. Or am I missing something?

No, I missed that.

I’m trying to search through the list archives to confirm some of
this, but the search interface isn’t being that helpful …

WRT to the macro, I’m not 100% certain, but I recall this enables one
to pass the option to the macro. I think Simon proposed this on the
list at some point, and implemented it. It can be convenient in cases
where, for example, you have a macro that deals with locators, It
might use the long form by default (e.g. the bibliography), but the
short form in the citation.

I’m frankly drawing a blank on how form would be relevant to a point
locator. Does anyone else know, or is this in fact a bug in the
schema?

The form attribute is indeed parsed by citeproc-hs for both <text

and but are not used.

Actually I don’t know what is supposed to do. I
seem not to be able to parse the comment:

A descriptor that locates sub-item content within a cited resource. Used

in some styles to indicate specific page numbers for excerpted

content, for example.

Any help?

A long thread about this:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=47C6AA89.2020105%40gmail.com

I don’t have time ATM to remind myself of the take-home point WRT to
this thread, but will try to get back to it later.

If I get the thread right has the same meaning of
, but the second is for the bibliography and
the first for citations.

I was not able to understand why it was deemed necessary, though.
Judging from the zotero style collection it was not (it is not used as
far as my grep goes).
