Agreed, although there is a semi-syntactic method potentially.

For @xref{} I would need to know if it was at the start of a sentence and
followed
by a comma or period.
For @pxref{} I would need to determine if it was at end of sentence,
mid sentence followed by a comma or within parentheses, and not preceeded by
"see" or "see". Although even this would not suffice, since there are
contexts where
@ref{} is the better choice.
Allowing for attributes on the links would allow for differentiating,
however the
alternative (which is the current behaviour) is just to create them all as
@ref{} and
then include the semantic context (See, see or nil) as appropriate for
export.

Jon
