Sorry, I take that back. Only remove (most of) the (file referencing) 
content.

I am very much in favour of having a central .bib file (or a collection 
of them in a central place), but with actual references to papers and 
books. Even better would be what once was in discussion... Online 
documentation should directly link a reference in text to the actual 
paper if that is somewhere on the internet. But I guess we also care 
about printed versions so a .bib file is not such a bad idea in the end. 
We should however care about uniqe bibkeys, that would avoid 
duplications of entries in axiom.bib.

Maybe some day .bib files go away since there would be a central 
database of references on the internet and one only has to know a unique 
key into that database to extract all relevant information needed for a 
printed version. But up to then .bib files are of some use.
