Well, you could always use inline links like `[text](#1)` for your in- 
document references which would look like this:

Markdown, but with PHP Markdown Extra you could do this:

     ### mySection

     A reference [Bush & Kerry 2004]<sup id="A1">[1](#1)</sup>.

     ___________________

     ### References:

     <a id="1"></a>1. Bush GW, Kerry J. 2004. Bush and Kerry offer their
     views on science. Science. Sep 15.[Hubmed Citation][H1]   
[&crarr;](#A1)

     [H1]: <http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=15371599>

Feel free to put the `<sup>` tag inside the link if you prefer (but  
in that case you must escape the "Bush & Kerry 2004" opening square  
bracket).

Take note that an id of "1" is invalid according to HTML spec which  
must begin by a letter:


> ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be  

> followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),  

> underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
