    // 1) as elements of the $node object.  This occurs when editing an existing node
    // 2) in the $form_state['values'] array which occurs on a failed validation or
    //    ajax callbacks when the ajax call originates from non-submit fields other
    //    than button
    // 3) in the $form_state['input'] array which occurs on ajax callbacks from submit
    //    form elements (e.g. buttons) and the form is being rebuilt but has not yet
    //    been validated
    //
    // The reference elements added by this function do use AJAX calls from buttons,
    // therefore, it is important to check for form values in the $form_state['values']
    // for case #2 above, and in the $form_state['input'] for case #3.
    // See the chado analysis node form for an example.

    // for the function call.
