Testing reference markers cross-browsers

 * Most complete test-case, using refs and no punctuation
 * Most complete test-case, using refs after a semi-colon;
 * Most complete test-case, using templates and no punctuation
 * Minimal test-case, using a single ref and no punctuation
 * etc...

Results
Firefox seems to create groups of usually two elements (or three for the last group if needed):
 * if there's no separation between the preceding word and the 1st ref:
 * word+1st, 2nd+3rd, 4th+5th, ..., [2q]th+[2q+1]th.
 * word+1st, 2nd+3rd, 4th+5th, ..., [2q]th+[2q+1]th+[2q+2]th.
 * if the word before the 1st ref is separated (either by white-space or by punctuation):
 * 1st+2nd, 3rd+4th, 5th+6th, ..., [2q-1]th+[2q]th.
 * 1st+2nd, 3rd+4th, 5th+6th, ..., [2q-1]th+[2q]th+[2q+1]th.
