Jeremy, I am going to try to make those RefDB
changes, after all. It is just that I have been buisy
fixing other things, which I thought that were
more important. I have already downloaded and
installed
RefDB, I just have to get used to it so that I become
familiar with it. And then I am going to do the
integration.

But this should not prevent you from experimenting
with them yourself.

First of all we need to invent a suitable wiki markup
for references. E.g. cross references are denoted
like this: [>section_id]. We can denote references
like this: [->reference] (or something more suitable).

Then we have to make some modifications at:
templates/docbook/edit/content/text_to_xml/fun.regex_replace.php
and at xsl_transform/edit_content/xml2text/inline.xsl
so that this markup can be converted from and to XML.
See for example what is done with <xref>.

Maybe this should be modified as well:
xsl_transform/cache/content_html/link.xsl
(something similar to xref), so that referencies
are displayed properly in the html (cache) files.
This may require some interaction with RefDB 
(or refdb-lite) system.

Then, when the other formats are generated (PDF etc.),
we should think about how to handle properly the
referencies (generating bibliografies etc.).
This will definitely need some interaction with
RefDB or refdb-lite.

Some configuration parameters about RefDB should be
added in books.conf as well (host, username, password,
etc.), similar to webnotes configuration options.

I cannot think of other places that should be modified
right now.
