Identifying styles
Does anybody know of a resource that allows to identify bibliographical styles based on a number of concrete examples? Like a differential diagnosis - preferably maybe even in an algorithm: e.g. you just select some key differentiating features (book author has first name first or not; book title italics or not; what type of separator between author and title, etc etc.) and you would then work your way to the final style. Does something like this exist? Thanks!

note that you have to work with the examples given - i.e. format those according to the style you're trying to identify - you cannot just paste your own.
