Right -- and I agree. But my question was whether the citation tree should
merely be "flattened" ("collapsed"?) into a single text string that is
instered into "parentCitationString", or should there be some sort of nested
structure to accommodate each level in the tree. My gut feeling -- at least
for now (and for simplicity), is to collapse it into a single text value.

:-)
Actually, I have to confess: I had 11 hours of sleep last night. After a
marathon week, I often just collapse on the sofa when I get home, and don't
open my eyes again until the next morning.

I tend to agree -- but I wanted to get a sense for what others were doing.
Aloha,
