I think this has be a test on the preceding:: axis -- though maybe someone 
can think of a way to do it that wouldn't be so expensive, potentially.

That is, an ibid would be when @linkend = preceding::biblioref[1]/@linkend. 
In the simple case.

I'm not sure if I understand the logic you want here, however. Is the 
second doe99 an ibid even though it's in a footnote? Why is the third doe99 
not an ibid, or if it is, is it by virtue of "directly following" the first 
doe99 or the second?

(AFK for a bit here, so I'm afraid no more return-mail responses for a 
while....)

Cheers,
Wendell
