IMO for the same reason it is attractive to limit *bold* to imply bold. [At one point it was possible to alter the (export) interpretation of emphases]. Home-brewed solution are not stable compared to syntax. Getting ad-hoc citations in Org is very and there might be as many implementations as there are users. E.g. org-ruby would not (I hope) support [MY-CITE:MY-DOI]... > The real need in the context of citations is to somehow extend the > bibtex/biblatex integration to other export formats (odt/html, most > importantly).

If you can live with \cite-only there's already ox-bibtex.el that will support bibtex citations in html. —Rasmus -- May contains speling mistake
