Two comments:

1.	I think that in defining citations it is important that the order of
the authors and editors be explicitly defined.  This can be handled by adding
to data items to the dictionary _citation_author.ordinal and
_citation_editor.ordinal.  An possible definition for _citation_author.ordinal
is given below.

save__citation_author.ordinal
  _item_description.description
;     This data item defines the position of the author's name in the list of
         authors on a citation.
;
  _item.name                '_citation_author.ordinal'
  _itme.mandatory_code      yes
  _item.category_id         citation_author
  _item.type.code           integer

save_


2.  In the example mmcif DDF040 provided on the server, there is an error in
the ENTITY section.  The loop defines five data items but only three values are
provided with the formula_weight and details missing.
