How annoying...
I have one more problem with doi guessing: I have here some (quite a lot
of them) papers with some "metadata" in a small column on the left of
the first page, including:

"This article's doi:
<the doi is here>"

Referencer does not catch it as it only expects spaces between "doi:"
and the doi itself. It does work if I modify it to allow newlines as
well (replacing ":? *" with ":?[ \n]*" as a quick test. Can you include
this or is it some other problem I did not think about ?
For now I'm happy, the doi detection works for 95% of the papers I have
here (except the 50+ that does not contain a doi :/ )

PS: current svn gives me a crash at startup, which was not here a few
hours ago.
