Hi Michael
I occasionally do use things like "month = jun # {~14}" (although this
is a very inflexible approach), and though I'd like to make your life
easier by saying to only worry about the simple problems, I think it's
necessary to eventually support the string syntax in full. Obviously
anything is very appreciated, and basic support will get me using
BibDesk as soon as it's released (probably).

PS Have you read about the further developments planned for BibTeX in
the near(-ish) future? Very interesting reading:
