Thanks for looking at this and your ideas about this issue. To be
honest, I'm not convinced that we should go through this only in order
to get cite lists working. The benefits for some macros provided by one
single package, namely biblatex, seem too low to me. We have a
non-perfect solution now, but I guess we can live with it. Why do need
the fontification, jinx?
What do others think?
Best, Arash
