Greetings,
In general, I favor a standardized way of indicating a journal reference. I
really don't like the idea of using the Subject field for this. I also don't
like the idea of putting 'submitted to' information in this field. Rather, it
should only be for a peer-reviewed version of the work. It should also not
be interpreted as meaning that the e-print and journal versions are
identical. So we can either introduce an explicit <journalref> tag or allow a
type attribute on a <comment> tag and explicity choose a value to indicate
journal information:
<journalref>Phys. Rev. blah blah</journalref>
or
<comment type="journalref">Phys. Rev. blah blah</comment>
For data exchange, there is little difference between the two choices. I
favor <journalref> myself, though using <comment> may make it more clear that
the data may not be trustworthy.
Cheers,
Mark
