Could somebody please check out how to handle this in BibTeX?

I have no problem with broader point and as I said I'm perfectly in
favour to display the data as requested by Upstream. However, we have
logically a different type of data which should be reflected in the
structure of the data. This different structure was the cause why
Michael tried to hack around this.
If you look at the template for the tasks page at
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/blends/blends/trunk/webtools/templates/tasks.xhtml?view=markup
beginning at line 168 and find a common way to specify a rendering of
the current publication data and the "Cite-As" data I'd be more than
happy but I simply fail to cope with this reasonably (=non-hackish).
That's why my suggestion: Use Cite-As as different data with different
rendering (can be injected freely in the Cite-As field) and display this
above the publication data. Every patch implementing something more
elegant is very welcome.
Kind regards
Andreas.
