Yes, i know... (btw... i plan a RefDB backend in the near future for 
JReferences...)

The downside of this, however, is that you use extra software... and since
RefDB requires a SQL database in turn (JReferences does not btw, and can use 
a file based database...), it poses extra requirements...

Using the stylesheet approach is less straightforward, that is absolutely 
true, and i just might add such driver files for journals as well, but using 
stylesheets might just be a bit more light weight...
