One potentially limiting factor, though; what sort of formatting can be done inside an attribute like that? For example, if the reference is to a website one might want to include a link to a specific page or anchor in that "section" text. Or one might conceivably want to get fancy with styling for some reason. I'm not too familiar with the general conventions of XML but I'd expect that nesting tags inside of attributes is bad form.
Wikilinks should work!
But would a <span> tag work? I can't think of a reason to use one offhand, but this is a matter of fundamental architecture that could be with us for a long time so IMO it's good to allow as much flexibility for future ideas as possible.
