Citation Manager Wish List

I missed this post from a few weeks ago on what i want in a citation manager. An excerpt:

I want to be able to handle citations to both virtual and physical items in one place. I want it to be as easy to use as del.icio.us, offering similarly handy bookmarklets to go on my browser toolbar and capable of generating RSS feeds. But I also kind of want a desktop app. Something I can work in offline, that can organize and export lists of stand-alone bibliographies in all the styles necessary, and that can integrate with my other desktop apps or at least provide some kind of drag and drop. And I want both the desktop app and the browser interface to address the same information, to merely be two different (and no doubt updating) views of the same data.

I like this idea, and is more-or-less how I’ve been thinking as well. Seems to me xml helps allow just this sort of thing.
