Hmmm. While some of the situations we create here might be artificial (or at least highly unlikely), I think at least some of the issues discussed here are a symptom...

True, but I don't think people always want sorting based on recalculated `extra*` data. In some settings having one set of `extra*` data as "ground truth" and then sorting (with...

Exactly, on TeX.SX there are https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/12679/35864, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/325159/35864, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/73753/35864, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/517306/35864 all using `citecounter`. I can see that it would make sense to default to not printing the `citedas` if there are...

I meant that the following MWE will not use the `shorthand` "KU" for `kant:ku` anywhere in citations, yet will still list it in the list of shorthands ```latex \documentclass[british]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}...

That's because `biblatex` is a bit naughty and works in a group. In essence we end up with something like ```latex \documentclass{article} \begin{document} {\section*{Foo}} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consecture...

Yeah, that would be a workaround. Have a look at https://github.com/plk/biblatex/commit/c3a329c190ed6858780c5e5fc4ffeccb5841bea9, please. I added both `prenote` and `postnote` for consistency with how the other commands work, but in this case...

`prenote` and `postnote` explicitly force a `\noindent`, you can remove that by redefining `\blx@bibnote`. ```latex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{indentfirst} \usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex} \addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib} \makeatletter \def\blx@bibnote#1{% \ifdefempty#1 {} {\begingroup \let\newrefsection\relax \let\newrefsegment\relax \csuse{blx@note@#1}\par\nobreak \endgroup}} \makeatother...

I agree that `@online` has become a bit of a useless type, what with basically everything being online nowadays. But I disagree that `@article` is a good type for things...

> I don't think that the name of the peer-reviewed journal that the manuscript would eventually be published is relevant to the present discussion. [...] We are discussing the way...

Thing is: Semantics are not just idle word play here. If we want to develop official guidance, we need to take into account the *meaning* of fields (as documented) because...
