see how bibitem* would be able to change the alignment as it does.

Have a look at compact-item in std-list.ts and have a go at using it on its own. To me it looks like it, rather than MFO, is doing the change of alignment. Compact-item also has an effect on the vspace.

However, just dispensing with all the old code in bibitem is a little drastic...

Yes, it is drastic. I wonder if this bug has been solved in 1.0.6. If not,
we will need a more fine-grained approach.

I think my solution (as presented in my last post) is 'in the spirit' of the macro structure as it stands: it just replaces one alignment macro with another, in almost the same place ;-). It's still rather rough. Perhaps the best way (that is, the way closest to the status-quo, which may not be the best way more generally) would be to have a custom bib-align macro that took the essential features of compact-item and margin-first-other and substituted for compact-item in render-bibitem?

For example, as a first attempt:

New macro:
<assign|bib-align|<macro|x|<style-with|src-compact|none|<vspace*|0.5fn><margin-first-other|0mm|5mm|>>>>

Old macros modified:
<assign|render-bibitem|<macro|text|<bib-align|<transform-bibitem|<arg|text>>>>>
<assign|transform-bibitem|<macro|x|>>

These give the result I want, and this will have to do for me for now, because I have to get on with other things! All in all, I'm impressed with TeXmacs.
