The fact that lifting a graf with references and

article becomes a major hassle.
The problem as *I* see it is that the whitespace necessary to make the
wikitext readable screws with the article vspace.
That's part of the problem, but not all of it.
You know, what would really be ideal (in dreamland) would be a column
of references next to the edit box. You would type <ref name="foo" />
and the instant you'd closed the >, you'd have a new entry in the list
to the right, just begging you to give it some details. The list would
probably be stored at the bottom of the article, but you wouldn't even
care. You'd always edit it directly in that list. And you could do
neat things like collapsing two references together, highlighting any
references which were no longer referred to in the text etc...
