This is a variant on the compromise I went with as journal and book
series editor. It works well. Citations are to archived material that
has a 99.999999% chance of being accessible in 15 years time, everything
else was handled as a footnote or end note. 

The very worst thing for me in terms of citation is ones like (personal
communication, 1984). I banned that one.
