Sorry to hear you are going to be out of range! Hope we aren't 
responsible! ;-)

No to the last suggestion. There are two types of references, one is the 
osisRefs and the other is the <a> element. The URL should appear 
directly in the <a> element. (Cheap hyperlinking until we layer XLink 
syntax onto the schema. Well, and software such as Chris and Troy work 
on can use the osisRef.)
