Audience for Schema Bib extension

Dear All,

In the interest of moving this along, is it possible for us to identify 
the audience for the schema.org bibliographic extension?

Personally, I think it is rather simple: search engines generally, but 
primarily Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.  I'm not against other consumers 
(those that are not search engines) but I would like to know why/how the 
schema.org vocabulary should be modified for those additional consumers 
and, perhaps more importantly, how/why the schema.org maintainers would 
accept those recommendations if they do not benefit the schema.org 
designers.  I suspect a justification will have to be made for the 
extension to find approval.  Is this assumption correct?

In any event, I think that clearly identifying the audience for this 
extension would help us focus not only the use cases but also the 
resulting extension recommendation.

Yours,

Kevin
