This is not the right place (this is a forum for discussing the future
development of HTML, so you are supposed to know the present), and REFC is
actually an SGML term, but you are basically right - REFC means
"reference close", which is a character that terminates a character
reference or an entity reference, and in HTML it is defined to be the
semicolon ";". You have probably used a validator, which issues error
messages using generic SGML terms, so they can be a bit hard
to decipher.
