I'd perhaps write: `srcref`'s value... but I'm a little afraid to see how it is handled by the various parsers (I'd write it because it does look OK in most markdown parsers I've used). That said, I think in this case "value of `srcref`" is actually an improvement to the text (but I wouldn't say the same of the earlier patches, which feel like they are making things clunkier). -Peff
