I fully agree. Representing social science I have been looking for something 
like this. I am not sure if there are alternative bib-systems out there for 
social science and humanities (Jürgen?). Natbib has been suggested but I am 
not sure if it is the right thing for people like me. So far jurabib sound 
like the best and most powerfull tool for people with my needs. Just make 
sure to implement is so non technical users like me (from social science, 
remember!) can use the thing as easy as the standard BibTeX in LyX.

Currently I am writing a book about "Linux in Academia" for a non technical 
audience of students and professors from social science and humanities. I am 
putting a lot of effort into the LyX chapter and would love to demonstratge 
the use of Jurabib in LyX. This could really challenge the MS-Word/Endnote 
combination that is very common at social science - and move LyX towards a 
new group of users.

OK - guess I made my point? ;-)

I love the idea. Go for it!
Any idea when it can be implemented in LyX?
