Add something like this to the respecConfig object:

  var respecConfig = {
      // extend the bibliography entries
      "localBiblio": {
"RDF11-CONCEPTS": "Richard Cyganiak, David Wood, Editors. <cite><a href=\"http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-rdf11-concepts-20130115/\">RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax.</a></cite> 15 January 2013. W3C Working Draft (work in progress). URL: <a href=\"http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-rdf11-concepts-20130115/\">http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-rdf11-concepts-20130115/</a>. The latest edition is available at <a href=\"http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/\">http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/</a>"
      },
      ...
   }

It looks like you already have a localBiblio definition, it's just a matter of adding entries for other specifications you need. Is PlainLiteral a specification, or a section within RDF11-CONCEPTS? If a reference to concepts, usually done as an anchor within a cite to the specific fragment within the document, followed by a normative reference using [[!RDF11-CONCEPTS]].

> Also, how does one create an external reference link in ReSpec? Just saying <dfn class="externalDFN"> (as the documentation recommends) doens't seem to hack it. Do I also need an href="..." in there, anyone know? 

Looking at the ReSpec code, it looks like you would use class externalDFN on an anchor, not a dfn.

This is a fragment of a reference to concepts used in JSON-LD API:

[[[
... minting new "Skolem IRIs" as per <cite><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-skolemization">Replacing Blank Nodes with IRIs</a></cite> of [[RDF11-CONCEPTS]].
]]]
