One potentially limiting factor, though; what
sort of formatting can be
done inside an attribute like that? For example, if the reference is to
a website one might want to include a link to a specific page or anchor
in that "section" text. Or one might conceivably want to get fancy with
styling for some reason. I'm not too familiar with the general
conventions of XML but I'd expect that nesting tags inside of attributes
is bad form.
Wikilinks should work!
But would a <span> tag work? I can't think of a reason to use one
offhand, but this is a matter of fundamental architecture that could be
with us for a long time so IMO it's good to allow as much flexibility
for future ideas as possible.
