The references are always there for one, and they often contain a lot of other useful information. If I were to make use of the the repurposability that semantics afford us in order to only look at the main content of a document (clearly a very useful use case) I would be very surprised if the the appendices didn't show up. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
