Very true. The problem for me, as I mentioned in the part you didn't quote, is the gratuitous use of square brackets. If reference links were to be formatted print-style as small raised numbers, that would help a lot in terms of reducing clutter.
There is an assumption that HTML size formatting is a useful way to differentiate certain text. It is not, as some of us cant stand the common use of small text, and set our browsers to show an actual readable size. I know that a lot of times people use size formatting in templates, but these are negligible. Whatever convention for the display of reading basic text, including reference links, has to be functional for the rest of us.
It would be a natural for user preference setting - that way both of us could be happy without affecting the other.
