I could be wrong here, but wasn't Cite recently changed to allow for putting <ref>s inside <references>? If so, I think we could start encouraging people to put all of their refs down in the <references> block and just using <ref name="something"/> inline. /That/ would be a vast improvement, if nothing else.

Ah yes, here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources/Archive_26#Result
So, apparently the code has been written but not implemented on en yet. It will allow this:
Some<ref name="foo" /> text.
... <references /> <ref name="foo">Moo</ref> </references>
