I feel there is a problem with this solution.  In the not-so-distant future,
more of our citations are likely to come from the web or some other internet
incarnation.  Also, some people write research about information that all
comes from various parts of the web.  Putting the cited material in an
appendix could make for an extremely fat appendix!
