OK, but note that my suggestion is those attributes are not on the  
main element, but on children.

Explanation for your issue: in OOXML, everything about a field is  
encoded in a single attribute. So if you have multiple references  
plus parameters, they're all encoded in a single string.

This is bad practice from an XML standpoint: you really need them  
encoded in separate attributes and/or elements.
