of easy to overlook.
*A <ref> tag whose body is defined but not actually used anywhere in the
article should still appear in the <references/>-generated list, with a
bullet instead of a number. This is already done manually in a lot of
cases when people add references directly to the references section.
Both good ideas.
BugZilla them, please.
Only the first is worth putting on BugZilla - the 2nd would be
pointless with the current ref system, so it's best just to consider
it part of the suggestion for a new system.
