Hi all.
Recently I've been using DOIs to refer to publications that are available 
on the internet (e.g. [[Galena officinalis]]). I'm impressed with the 
handling of ISBN book codes. I was wondering if there would be support for 
implementing a similar measure to handle DOIs. Every DOI code can be 
decrypted by prefacing it with the URL [http://dx.doi.org/] - the bit after 
the slash is automically interpreted, and the DOI site links through to the 
resource. Any ideas? How do I go about having this implemented?
