I use Barry Warsaw's supercite (nee' superyank). superyank (and supercite, RSN) is on the ohio-state ftp archive, or you can send mail to "supercite-request@cme.nist.gov" [which is also the administrivia address for the mailing list]. Hmm... now there's an idea... gnu.emacs.supercite, gated to the mailing list. I'd wait until after the solid version is out, but (again) that looks like it'll be RSN.
