At some point I’d like to have a rational solution for the below.
Copying the IEEE cobwebs from bibxml2 to bibxml6 would solve the problem (I.e., allow me to look up IEEE in bibxml6 as opposed to bibxml2 as of now).  As would creating a bibxml.IEEE or some such from both directories and keeping them in sync.

Grüße, Carsten

I can’t switch that over to bibxml6, as the bibxml2 references are in use in existing documents, e.g. for IEEE 754.  Why are we even doing this splitting up?  90 % of the files are in bibxml3 anyway.)
