Works for me, but _one_ comment: if we want to be able to combine the
section reference into the display somehow, we might want to have a
specific para for this, "section=" or such. To see what I'm getting
at, I'll paraphrase a ref from a recent article (actually, it's on the
front page right now)...
<ref name="Soviets">[ link to a web page ] </ref>
<ref name="Soviets" section="pp. 25-27" />
<ref name="Soviets" append="It should be noted that other sources
disagree with this claim." />
In the second case we're saying we absolutely want to add a note to
the end of the reference. In the first case, however, we're only
specifying a section, we don't really care how it's displayed. It
might simply be appended, but maybe someone else comes up with a
better way to do this.
I'm not saying this is a must-have by any means, I'm of two minds
whether the two would ever be different in practice.
