The problem with this is that starting a new line leaves whitespace in between the text and the reference superscript link, which is not normally present, and not desired.
This does not appear to be the case: In display mode, text on the same level that doesnt have at least two returns after the line will concatenate. So this sentence even though its on separate lines, in code mode will display normally.
I think you misunderstand; as with regular HTML, any number of space characters, tabs and single returns become a single logical space. However, a return gives a logical space in between the text and the reference superscript.
IOW, "text.<ref>foo</ref>" gives "text.[1]" (ignoring lack of superscripting), while
text. <ref>foo</ref>
gives "text. [1]". In other words, a space in between the period and the reference number.
