The only reason that occurs to me is that it will make <references /> less discoverable. On the other hand, people would likely figure it out if they'll figure out <ref>, and if not, the worst that happens is that references are way at the bottom. I don't see any reason not to do this. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
