I am preparing to put a large bibliography composed of separate
files under RCS.  I was wondering what people were using as
`comment' fields within files (I am planning on storing RCS
header information under %h independent of any other refer entries).
My question is: what conventions besides the original Lesk paper
conventions are in use?

I am running on a 4.xBSD system, and I did attend Bill Tutil's
session in San Diego on "refer - madness."  I also know that
%X is the current convention on abstracts for things like
roffbib.  My plans are to use one of the lower case letters
%[a-z] for my headers (which should not be printed).

I also know that some of the macros are used by refer and its
satellite tools, so I will avoid those.  

If I receive any other interesting conventions, I will post them
to net.followup.
