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 doing it on a per-article basis still would work). On the other hand, I think footnotes should probably stay inline.
