(But yes, I imagine the additional ease of VE here would be significant.)
Yeah, special markup in this case is an annoyance. I'm picturing n00bs
using the VE (newbies I throw at the VE *love* it *so much* ... I need
to try them on adding a reference) and going "... ah. There's
discussion on this point."
