What if an element has multiple types of references? I don't think
anything in HTML has this; does any other language that reasonably
uses CSS?
I agree, though, that the host language should define what it means to
be referenced; for example, the "label enclosing an input" can still
establish a "reference" between the two elements, despite the
reference only existing within the DOM, not in an explicit markup
attribute.
