upgraded from 0.12, and it works fine. My problem before was that some
important npm packages were still incompatible with node 4.2; it may be
that that's no longer an issue, and I spoke too soon.

That does seem to be an issue, but I bet it wouldn't be too hard to fix.
Currently outputformat is hardcoded on line 94 of lib/citeServer.js; I'm a
little slow at reading JS but I think replacing line 259 with a switch
statement analogous to the one for responseformat at line 291 would allow
one to use the full capacities of citeproc.js. I think the best route
would probably be to submit a patch to citeproc.js adding an org-mode
output format, propagating that up to citeproc-node, submitting a second
patch to citeproc-node, and then writing the org-internal functions
properly. We might also want to add an additional responseformat option.
It might take a month or two to get all those changes accepted, but we
could probably do the org-mode development simultaneously, and it would be
worth the wait to have a stable solution. My experience with the
citeproc-js maintainer is that he is very helpful and responsive to feature
requests.
I am a slow coder but would be happy to invest some time in this if it's
the direction the community wants to go in. Adding a new output format to
citeproc-js is not that complex; see

of RAM at runtime, and relies on a GUI environment, which neither emacs nor
pandoc does.
