One solution would be to define references at the bottom of the article, and use them in the text. (This is possible with the current implementation, but only messily.) Then the code above would look something like below.
I was going to say as well, what happened to that proposal to define references at the bottom of the article instead of inline? And then Pathos posted a nice implementation above. It does make a whole lot more sense from both a reader and an editor's point of view to have reference metadata in a single place, away from the wikitext. Defining refs with a "refname" in the text doesn't seem too bad... other than the mess of trying to get a different stylistic system going, is there some reason we don't do this?
That would be a huge leap forward.
