[Translators-l] Short message about reference formatting

[Philippe Verdy]

That feature was already implemented in many wikis by enclosing the
"<references />" custom tag within a HTML standard <div> element with CSS;
this was generally done using a references template instead of the tag
directly.

What does this mean ?: the "references" tag may now generate its own
multicolumn layout, and the existing multicolun div container will split it
again in columns because column width/gap/rulers as wel as paddings and
margins of the container will interact badly...

Howeer what we still expect to see:
* Please remove the top and bottom margins/paddings that are added to
bulleted or numbered lists, or definitions lists (typically used for
indenting with ":"), or blockquotes, when they occur inside a multicolumn
container : this causes columns to not line up correcly. We don't need
these top/bottom margins, it's up to the multicolumn container to set them
for all columns simultaneously, and not just the top of the first column
and bottom of the last column!)
