Seems overly complicated. Why not just have a bot go through and change all the instances of [url] (in the article namespace) to <ref>url</ref>, and add a references section if necessary?
Yeah, after thinking about it a bit more, a bot would be much more sensible.
However, a way to have a web cite directly clickable would be great.
There really are two separate issues. That the numbering schemes clash is one valid issue. That the English Wikipedia has deprecated the use of these types of links is another.
They seem pretty related to me. The numbers clash with the system which superseded it.
