> Article.references is a private StringBuffer instance.
> The method addReference(String) inserts the reference into the buffer followed by a tab.
> However, as far as I can tell, this is never called.
> The method getReferences() - which is used - has to parse the StringBuffer in order to find the references.
> Since the buffer is only used in the add and get methods, it does not make sense to handle the references this way.
> Even if the buffer were used (e.g. as part of a toString() method) it would still be better to store the references as a List or Array.
