While being a potential solution, XPath appears to heavyweight to me.
Why not simply add three optional attributes (with sensible defaults)

- ref-element
- ref-xmlns
- ref-xmllang

to <reference/> in order to identify the element the reference belongs to?

I would eventually even refactor those together with begin and end into
a child element of <reference/>, to avoid some redundancy:

<message type='groupchat' to='[email protected]'>
  <body xml:lang='en'>Good day, Juliet</body>
  <body xml:lang='de'>Guten Tag, Juliet</body>
  <reference xmlns='urn:xmpp:reference:0'
             type='mention'
             uri='xmpp:[email protected]'>
    <element ref-element='body'
             ref-xmlns='jabber:client'
             ref-xmllang='en'
             begin='10'
             end='15'/>
    <element ref-element='body'
             ref-xmlns='jabber:client'
             ref-xmllang='de'
             begin='11'
             end='16'/>
  <reference/>
</message>

Or with all redundancy removed:

<message type='groupchat' to='[email protected]'>
  <body xml:lang='en'>Good day, Juliet</body>
  <body xml:lang='de'>Guten Tag, Juliet</body>
  <reference xmlns='urn:xmpp:reference:0'
             type='mention'
             uri='xmpp:[email protected]'
             ref-element='body'
             ref-xmlns='jabber:client'>
    <element ref-xmllang='en'
             begin='10'
             end='15'/>
    <element ref-xmllang='de'
             begin='11'
             end='16'/>
  <reference/>
</message>
