With XSLT, you can match on just the attribute.

Hi David,
My very limited understanding of Flying Saucer and iText is that it works with
xhtml content, so I presume you are using the xhtml stylesheets.
The DocBook html/xhtml stylesheets put footnotes at the end of the component
(typically chapter or appendix) that the footnote appears in.
Hi Richard,
I'd use colophon. A colophon doesn't normally create a TOC entry, and it is

to do that regardless.
