Apparently we would need several templates depending on what the xref
actually points to. I've now found references to chapters, in which
case "see Chapter X.." is correct in English, I translated it - as all
others - as "revise <xref...>" and that results in "revise Capítulo"
which is wrong and its correct form would be "revise el Capítulo". So
having just one template would make some references incorrect :S

Sorry to cause so many issues.
