One of the things I've wondered about, but cannot offer any expertise on (really, I have no clue), is how this might work for languages like Arabic or Mandarin. > - There is no support for this in LaTeX-derived back-ends, because > I don't know when a citation is going to become a footnote.

Here's the scenario I believe Denis was concerned about: #+begin_quote ... block with citation at end.
