Editable footnote/endnote separators for Writer

Actually OpenOffice Writer doesn't allow other separators between main text and
footnotes/endnotes but the straight line. It is not quite critical. However, 

(1) changing, for example, a straight line by a waved one could help obtaining
some interesting and stylish typografic effects. 

(2) some periodicals (in humanities at least) require the authors to use not
footnotes but endnotes with a corresponding heading before them. It will be more
correct from the structural point of view if this heading was described as
something, which has a relation to endnotes, not to the main text. 

(3) it's worth mentioning, that MS Word allows tweaking of footnote/endnote
separator since the earliest versions, so those migrating to OpenOffice from
proprietary text editors may be used to such capability. 

It would be quite good if the OpenOffice team have included the possibility to
use custom footnote/endnote separators in forecoming versions of the program.
