Dinesh and Kent -
I've been lurking along as you run this problem to ground. The syntax you
are working on looks very slippery, and reminds me of some of the issues I
had writing a generic street address parser with pyparsing
(http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/file/view/streetAddressParser.py). Mailing
list companies spend beaucoup $$$ trying to parse addresses in order to
filter duplicates, to group by zip code, street, neighborhood, etc., and
this citation format looks similarly scary.
Congratulations on getting to a 95% solution using PLY.
