What if we maintained "Citation Numbers" in the javadoc and then
maintained references to external sources in the Math Site documentation?

Maybe it's my grad school experiences talking, but I would prefer to retain
links to external references. That way if a user (or even one of us
developers) ever needs to look up the original references, its easy to do, and
there's an explicit statement of which source of information we used, rather
than doing a Web search and wondering which (if any) of the resulting resources
was the original reference. Maybe that doesn't matter to anyone but me?
