As noted at 

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources&oldid=304379503#Option_.232:_Allow_reference_content_to_be_defined_anywhere

The enwiki editing community appears to be mostly opposed to a "def" or
"hidden" syntax that would allow ref content to be defined at any arbitrary
position in the text.  They strongly supported the alternative of moving the
definitions into the references block however, so that's the only version I
implemented.
