It could possibly be defined as IDREFS instead of IDREF, but what's 
wrong with just using multiple ref elements?

e.g.
<p>The answers are <ref id="foo">a</ref> and <ref id="bar">b</ref>.</p>

That would also be much more flexible for user agents to do something 
with.  For example, activating each ref element could highlight the 
associated element in some way, or it could be activated like a link to 
#foo and then be styled using the :target pseudo-class.  With multiple 
IDs, such behaviour may not be so easy.
