Ideally, html code should separate semantic content from formatting wherever possible, and leave formatting to style sheets. For example, instead of hard-coding an italicized journal title, the journal title should ideally be wrapped with something like Physical Review D, and then the italicization can be addressed in the stylesheet. Or if someone wanted to portray journal titles in all caps or small caps or underlined, or in a different color, she would be free to use a style sheet that did so. Wrapping article titles in quotation marks could also be done in the style sheet. Further, the issue of whether or not to have bolded volumes would be a matter of user preference. Therefore, I am proposing to add a few css classes to common.css relating to citations, and provide them with default formatting as they exist now. The classes I have in mind are at least the following: ...

If the css entries are approved, then it will be a simple matter to amend the template.
