Here's what I ended up sending him as an example, though I didn't have
a lot of time to think through it carefully. It takes what I see the
best of both existing DocBook support and MODS.
<bibliography>
<biblioentry genre="article"> <!-- I think there needs to be a
classifier attribute on the main element, but preferably controlled -->
<title>Article Title</title>
<creator role="author"> <!-- a al DC, broader than "author" -->
<personname>
<forename>John</forename> <!-- firstname is not very flexiblle, or
international-friendly -->
<surname>Doe</surname>
</personname>
</author>
<bibliorelation genre="academic journal" type="ispartof"> <!--
type is important, but should allow content within it -->
<title>Journal Title</title>
<partdetails> <!-- specifics here are less important than a flexible,
grouped, way to indicate page numbers and such -->
<detail unit="volume">2</detail>
<detail unit="issue">3</detail>
<partdetails>
</bibliorelation>
</biblioentry>
