1. Internal format for BibServer

yes

2. API format for BibServe

yes

3. New standard for personal bibliographies (ie alternative to BibTeX, RIS, etc)

it's possible - if what we do is useful and others want to use it, so
be it. If they don't, I have no strong desire to force the standard,
but it is within scope to promote this idea.

4. New standard for library bibliographic data (ie alternative to
MARC, MARC.next, LLD RDF)

something for librarians to decide, beyond my area. but presumably
also depends on demonstration of usefulness (either that or politics)

5. All of the above plus format for author data, data set
descriptions, weather forecasts, etc

no.
