I believe the idea here is somewhat different than that of bug 6271:
<references> should (without any further arguments or whatnot) only print any
<ref>s since the last <references>, not any before that. This would be handy
for something like [[Comparison of layout engines (CSS)]] (or most other enwiki
comparison pages), which tend to have per-section footnotes, although *why* they
do is a good question.

This would presumably also mean that ref numbering would be reset as well on
every <references>, although strictly that wouldn't be necessary.

Yes, the idea is something else as 6271. Every time, when I set <references>, so
the "memory" of references should be deleted; but I do not think the numbering
should be resetted - no. Say, references (footnotes) 1 to 5 will be given in the
middle of the page, the rest, 6 to 10, on the end. It can make sense in long
articles. (Please do not mind my careful professional vocabulary of a profound
developer - I am not one :-)).
