I think the problem is a real one, even though the argument about XML is
invalid.

The point is that <ref>...</ref> should enclose the statement that a reference
is *for*, i.e. the statement it supports, rather than the reference information
itself. That way, it would be clear which reference supports which statements.
For practical reasons however, that would make things tricky, because attribute
values are considered to be plain values, but the reference info is quite often
complex wikitext. One solution would be to split it up: <statement
id="foo">some text</statement> ... <ref for="foo">reference info</ref>. Note
that the <ref> could acourr anywhere inthe text, it would be rendered at the
end. The statement tag would not be visible at all.

This would be more flexible and semantically more expressive than the current
way of doing things.
