would that be location="bottom/section" ?
IMHO a more modular and interoperable solution would be a tag extension e.g. <bibliography> that is applied to a list of references. It would replace all citations in the text that are written in a (selectable) style (e.g. Harvard style) with the appropriate Wiki markup, or hyperlink the bibliography in place. And it could be smart enough to not interfere with the way tags are currently handled.

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.
