What I've been meaning to investigate more fully is the "Citation Style Language" (CSL) which is used by Zotero for citation outputting--there are some other non-Zotero engines for CSL, but I'm not sure how mature/ready for production any of them are. The Zotero engine is of course in Javascript, so inconvenient (although not impossible) to re-use that code a server side app. I haven't really investigated what's going on with CSL, but that seems to be the 'right' way to deal with this to me. Once you have a CSL engine incorporated in your app, you can output not just in Chicago or MLA, but any citation style now or in the future that Zotero (or anyone else) provides a CSL file for. Thanks to Zotero (and it's partners?) for developing this re-useable CSL format instead of just a custom Zotero solution.
