Don't get me wrong but why would there be a need for a tool to create a bibliography ? It's all quite simple: Surname, NAME, Title in italic, Edited by..., City, Year.
Or did I misunderstand the whole "technology for bibliographical records"-thing ?
A wikibiblio is at least as useful as wikisource or wikiquote, somehow I'd consider it as part of the commons project.
In Germany, the national bibliographical institute (DDB) does not provide easy and free access to their record database as the LoC does in the USA. It's a waste of time that we have to enter those data again or again (or making use of foreign services like the LoC).
And even the LoC does not have a database of articles of journals, AFAIK.
From the beginning one of the purposes of the "Author" pages in Wikisource has been bibliographic. It only needs for people to enter the information, but that would need to be done wherever the bibliography is at home.
