I noticed it but didn't have a chance to look closely. Looking now, I
don't really understand what you're trying to do. You've done some
transformations on axiom.bib?
Why can't you just use latex and bibtex as usual on a literate document?
All it should require is to run noweb, latex, bibtex, latex in that
order. Am I being dense?
From my perspective, the axiom.bib is not of any interest by itself,
except as it can cause citations[1] to show up in documents. As such,
axiom.bib should ideally contain every document ever written. Bibtex
ignores unused bibliography entries. Why do you want to process
axiom.bib? I think the processing you're interested in could be
accomplished with a .bst file. If one wants to store annotations about
a paper, that's an interesting thing to do. But I don't think a
bibliography is the place to do it. (It makes sense though if I
envision the .bib file as a generalized database that will be processed
in different ways)

Only after you've tried to figure something out for yourself and
failed are you ready to absorb "the answer."
