@customcommander that's basically how I do disambiguation in citeproc-rs, except it's stamped with the actual values of each bibliography entry to match rendered cites against. For example, the type of...

The task appears to be to handle, concurrently/in the same style, languages that use `of` and languages that can only use 's-style agglutination like Korean's -의. I suspect nearly all...

There is no need for the hierarchy. But as you can see, implementation would not be...

WRT the logic of how these additional rules work, the word "override" would suffice, we can take it from there. You can specify "go back to no collapsing for !."...

If you can really pin it down to one or two variations on the whole mapping, then yeah, that would be good probably. But that does sound like more work...

You can thoroughly test the operation of the customisable rules, if you build them. If you're saying "the built-in modes would be part of the CSL test suite", there are...

As for the syntax itself, "mapping inputs to outputs" is pretty arcane programmer language. We all know it here, but this is not common and I catch very confused looks...

Yep. The pushback to any kind of inheritance and dependency management has been convincing. The malleable nature of XML text means that preprocessing instead is certainly an option, but ideally...

Thanks Max and aryx, and thanks everyone else for the discussion. I'll have a quick go at the improvement I alluded to and see if it works, otherwise I'll shape...
