Ah. I don’t think that’s a very good solution to that problem anyway.

I’ve been using it for years in biblatex.

What happens if you need to represent both page and column (or
paragraph)?

How do you specify this in a bibliographic record then?

Isn’t this akin CSL’s locators?

I don’t know, is this something that can be specified with the data
item? (Rather than the style language.)

just to reiterate: locators are specified for each citation (rather than
in the item data). E.g. I could be citing an entire chapter (ch. 3) in a
book at one point, but a specific page number or range at another point.
Those would be different locators with locator labels and can be handled
elegantly by CSL, which covers about a dozen different labels. But they
serve a different purpose from pagination.
@Bruce:Could you at least suggest a general idea of what type of solution
you’d prefer? “I don’t think that’s a very good solution” isn’t
particularly helpful ;), especially when your main reason seems to be a
situation that I’ll doubt you’ll be able to find any example for.>
