Interesting but ugly :) I've got very used to the APA (American
Psychological Association IIRC, but I think it got mentioned it its
expanded form once and ever since then it's been APA :) format and dispise
the ugly footnote/endnote citing :) (APA format citing is based on the
Havard style, I think it is, where you cite like '(Chapman & Chapman,
1983)' or 'Chapman, Chapman, Kwapil, Eckbald, and Zinser (1994)',
including the comma even though it makes it look busy :) .)
