Just could not resist launching into this one.  Why are citations to print
preferable to those to edocs?  Anyone else had the unsettling experience of
looking up a bibliographic reference to an edoc and getting 404ed?  Of
course, sometimes you can't get to the print reference either, but chances
are that you can get it pretty quickly on ILL.  And I won't even go into
the what happens with ILL as regards commercially-produced ejournals.
