not a valid CSL 1.0.2 style file

The file fails CSL validation, with,

Line 65: Bad value “et-al-custom” for attribute “name” on element “term” from namespace “[http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl”](http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl%E2%80%9D).
<term name="et-al-custom">etal.

Line 71: Bad value “et-al-custom” for attribute “term” on element “et-al” from namespace “[http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl”](http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl%E2%80%9D).
<et-al term="et-al-custom" font-style="italic"/>

where the CSL specification doesn't allow for custom term names. The name attribute of the term element must be a predefined term in the CSL schema.

However, when importing and applying the style it does generate a latex \cite and @misc{...} style bibliography. So you could ignore the error.

I will see if I have time this week to apply the following recommendation, test, and push the change (or someone else can make a PR :D)
