Errr I would rather see

ref_1=x
source:ref_1=y

Keep the value the same from the first key to the delimited referrer = 
makes it easier for all to recognise and sort.

Some of my change sets have more than one source, I document to 
discriminate the sources  as well as I can. But it is a good deal clear 
to me if I put it on the way/node/relationship.

name:source= ? Rather than source:name=... humm That would make people 
think about the source being part of some characteristic of the object.
