Jurabib and Biblatex

Dear Charles,

Yes, I've started to look at this package. For the moment, Jurabib
produces superior results for one simple reason: the 'Oxford' style
is well implemented in Jurabib. For the moment, no one seems to have
written useful styles for 'Oxford', 'CMS' or other humanities
styles. So while the promise of easy customisation exists, Biblatex
appears to be just the building-blocks for a potentially excellent
system, rather than something immediately useful.

Best wishes,

N.

Hello,
Jens on his home page points to the biblatex package. I had a very quick
look at the documentation. I like the idea of getting rid of the bst files
that are horrible to understand and hack and have a comprehensive way to
create bibliography styles.
Does somebody has tried more in depth this package and compared it with
jurabib ?
Cheers,
Charles
