Indeed. It was a milestone compared to what went before, and enabled citing
to become a norm or expectation (rather than an option) in practice not just
theory.
But its some years on and we're in the #5 and useability... methynks we can
do better still :)

The main disadvantage would be technical - revision data held in an extra
field.
IIRC Greg Maxwell mentioned something about this a couple years ago.
He acknowledged the issue of diminished edit-mode readability was
valid, but there was a technical and practical issue with putting refs
in a separate section. At the time, as his <refs> setup was new and
quite an improvement over the previous, so there wasn't much interest
in improving its inferface issues.
