Another attribute should be added to <ref>: "text". "Dubious assertion <ref text="(Bob 2003)">Bob, Robert (2003). ''Book of Bob.'' Nonexistent Press: Hicksville.</ref>" should produce "Dubious assertion <a href="#_note0">(Bob 2003)</a>", with the appropriate reference under <references />. This would allow "Harvard-style referencing". Combined with Bug #6271, it would allow footnotes to be used to clarify points made in the text, and Harvard references for sources, as is currently used in some enwiki articles (using the rather clunky {{Harvard ref}}).
