COINS feature in Biblio stores the site URL

Kathleen noted that the biblio_coins column was the only place in an entire site database that was storing the site URL, which is annoying when building out and adding content to a site at a URL that is not its final location.

Biblio is doing this as part of its automatic (and to my knowledge unheralded) feature of adding hidden "COINS" data to its output of bibliography entries everywhere, it seems, even the shortest listings.

COINS is: OpenURL COinS: A Convention to Embed Bibliographic Metadata in HTML. The idea on a 30 second inspection looks similar to RDFa or Microformats, but I'm not sure if it rides under either banner.

The information is put together by the biblio_coins() function in biblio.module.

Haven't looked into it deeper than that yet.
