Subject: [RFE] DOI URI support
Add support for doi URIs, e.g. doi:10.1000/182 They are already appearing in many BibTeX entry collections that I am harvesting for a project. See http://www.doi.org/ for more information on DOI.

From wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier: A DOI name takes the form of a character string divided into two parts, a prefix and a suffix, separated by a slash. The prefix identifies the registrant of the name, and the suffix is chosen by the registrant and identifies the specific object associated with that DOI. Most legal Unicode characters are allowed in these strings, which are interpreted in a case-insensitive manner. If that is true, then I don't see how anything short of something like this would be a valid regex: doi:(.*?)/(.*) Which is pretty much unusable, but that's how it seems the standard is.
