In my opinion, a BibTeX like system would work quite well for citations. Rather than have all citations be inline, or even stuffed in the References section, there should be a bibliography database with a zingy interface that'll let users quickly add citations and then quickly reference them in the article. (Extra points if it's centralized, but
I agree. It can't be part of the main article text, though, or it will break whenever you edit by section.
How about two edit boxes: The first one containing article text, and location-specific material (including pointers to references, links, images etc), and the second one containing meta data (reference bodies, categories, GPS coordinates...)
I don't like this (but I may be in the minority). Wouldn't it be simpler to implement template expansion inside ref tags in Cite?
