Some way to show what information is covered by what citation would be excellent - any suggestions? The only things I can think of end up destroying the human readability of the source code (which is bad enough as it is).
The concept of having a latex-like "source code" which is edited directly is probably bound to blow up eventually if Wikipedia is going to survive. I really don't think there's a good way to show the myriad of overlapping sources until then, which is probably years away at the earliest.
Adding sources to the edit summaries might be enough to help us extract the sources after the fact, though.
Adding a hidden (by default) reference tag would at least keep the ugliness confined to the editors.
