One thing I haven't seen discussed - how will we distinguish between different groups with the inline links? If I see <sup>1</sup> in an article, how am I to know if it's a note or a ref?
Which does seem to argue a little for the original idea I proposed, a separate <note> tag that simply maps into <ref group="notes"> This would provide the casual editor with more information as to the purpose of the entry. But again, I'm not sure it really helps *that* much unless the original editor goes out of their way to make their entries opaque.
A difference in tag would only be useful for someone reading the wikitext, not viewing the HTML in a web browser, which is how people generally read articles.
