Online Magazine Provides Citation Entries

When reading an article from ScienceDaily that was referenced on Slashdot, I noticed that at the end of the article there was an option to copy a citation reference for either the MLA or APA style.  At first I thought that this might be unique to that particular article, but then after more investigatio, it turns out that this is a standard feature.
This quite nice for people using this site as a source for their research.  I wish that this was a trend that more online news outlets were taking.  For instance, it would be great if the Atlanta-Journal Constitution would do this, since you can no longer purchase the AJC in it’s traditional format in Valdosta due to having drastically cut its delivery area recently.
