"See" is not a tag, it's a word that, if added, makes the text in parens be comprehensible by humans. > Since references are fontified in a different color the user can > already recognize a reference without an additional hint that > encourages him to follow this reference. Let's imagine that this text is in some HTML page: would you argue even then that it is a well-written reference? I think you'd expect "see" or some such; at least I would.
