Well, yes, that's what I thought. I thought a <reference> element means
that the enclosed is a reference or allusion to another document. (It's 
up to the processing software what to do with it.) An <a> element is a 
hypertext link -- semantically meaning that upon activation I want to 
see this other document. There need be no reference or allusion at all.
