That's essentially the same as <xref rid="ref1 ref2 ref3 ref19 ref22 ref23 ref24"/> - which would be ideal, but the problem is that most of the time we're marking up cross-references in text that already contains punctuation, e.g. (<xref rid="ref1">Smith, 1999</xref>; <xref rid="ref2">Jones, 2003</xref>) To be able to reformat those references using numeric reference labels instead of author-year, there has to be some way of knowing where the punctuation starts and ends, so either: <xref rid="ref1 ref2">(Smith, 1999; Jones, 2003)</xref> <=> <xref rid="ref1 ref2">1,2</xref> or <xref-group>(<xref rid="ref1">Smith, 1999</xref>; <xref rid="ref2">Jones, 2003</xref>)</xref-group> <=> <xref-group><xref rid="ref1">1</xref>,<xref rid="ref2">2</xref></xref-group> I'm not sure which I prefer, but if it's a requirement that each individual reference is marked up, then I think there's definitely a use for an xref-group element to mark the start and end of the group of references.
