Use the line

to get symbolic references.

Neat.  Maybe we can lobby for it to become the default.  Is there some
IDNit rule that suggest or imply that references should be numeric?  A
lot of documents have numeric references, so I could imagine that it
is used in some examples, and therefor used by default by tools.

No, there's no such rule; symbolic references are explicitly
permitted.  See Section 2.7 of
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-editor/instructions2authors.txt
