Unless anybody objects, I'm starting to think that it might be easier to just define the "verb-short" term forms in the styles.

I wrote a script ( https://github.com/citation-style-language/utilities/blob/master/csl-reindenting-and-verb-short-fix.py ) that defines the affected verb-short terms to the relevant styles. The logic: 1) I eliminate styles with `default-locale` set to a non-English locale....

Changes to locale files: https://github.com/citation-style-language/locales/commit/92270bbba9fb59a57042003a7637afc8e694a94f

To test, load a repository style in the Visual Editor from disk, change the value of "default-locale" under Global Formatting Options, and switch to the Code Editor. With this PR,...

And if this can be simplified, I'm all ears. (for comparison, I put the "rel" attribute on `` elements last via a similar approach in the Python script at https://github.com/citation-style-language/utilities/blob/d6bc1f23f560c1d92d8b5772dece7aba37c6bb55/csl-reindenting-and-info-reordering.py#L122)

The inner workings of the editor are a bit of a mystery to me, but I doubt performance is a concern here. The new code itself is rather light-weight, and...

See https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/1.0.1/release-notes.html and https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/1.0/release-notes.html for the existing changelogs.

> Oh wow; those are quite detailed! I think the target audience of a CSL schema/specification changelog should include CSL style authors, CSL processor implementors, and downstream implementations like Zotero....

For Zotero, there is already an effort to redesign the data model of item types, fields, and field availability: https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/wiki/Zotero-types-whiteboard If CSL is to succeed as a standard, I think...

I think an important first step would be Mendeley and Papers publicizing their item type/field mappings, in a way similar to http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/csl-fields/index.html.
