RE: [WSG] which tag to use for link to reference?

The tag is definitely not presentational. It's good for the browser to know what is superscripted. Think about math and powers. The browser will interpret these two things totally differently: 104 104 (correct) 104 (browser will think it's 104 instead of 104) Dan
