Adding a parameter would probably be less invasive.
Would you be suggesting a second parameter for bottom="true/false"

Would a parameter in the ref tag which stops it being displayed as a superscript number (or letter, or whatever) and linked back to be enough to fix this? It would allow all refs to be declared at the bottom of the page and just <ref name="foo"/> to be included inline. Refs could be put at the end of each paragraph rather than the bottom of the page if the people working on a particular page wanted to do so, of course.
