Halloechen!

there's a problem with titles: Mathematics.
With BibTeX, it was quite common to simply switch to math mode,
@TECHREPORT{techreport-minimal,
author = "Tom Terrific",
title = "An {$O(n \log n / \! \log\log n)$} Sorting Algorithm",
institution = "Fanstord University",
year = 1988,
}
For the time being, I guess we have to restrict people to using
whatever characters they can find in Unicode, combined with italics
and bold, but this is hardly a satisfactory solution.
Would it be at all feasible to include MathML into Bibulus XML?

Yes. You just have to add it to <formatted> and include the MathML
DTD into your DTD as an external parsed entity.

And how difficult would it be to convert this to the various
output formats afterwards?

Well, it's not easy. On the other hand, you can pass it verbatim to
(X)HTML and XML DocBook. Then it's not your problem anymore. ;-)
For LaTeX (or BibTeX), you have to convert it with e.g. XSLT. But
this has been done already by numerous people.

Tschoe,
Torsten.
