Could you explain how CSL returns citation information through the
various interfaces that have been developed?  Several have been
mentioned previously, e.g., citeproc-js, zotxt, etc.

Do you know of something in their design that would make it difficult
(or impossible) for the Org mode developers to produce, e.g., "Foo (2015)"
instead of "(Foo 2015)"?

I'm asking because the developers who contribute their effort to Org
mode are, IMHO, extremely talented and experienced programmers.  IIUC,
they are also busy with other projects (some of which hopefully make
them some money!), so I think it would help them if you could document
the problem you've identified.

All the best,
Tom
