Another thing is that whether the annotation should be considered a
footnote,
endnote or whateverelsenote seems to me a presentational issue, so
I'm not
that enthusiastic about calling it a <footnote> element. Why not
simply
<annotation>? You can then allow the author to decide where in the
page, or
in a group of pages, to place the <annotation> element, and use CSS
for the
presentational aspects. (You could allow the same with <foonote>,
but that
name suggest it must only be used for footnotes.)
I agree that it's a problem with the name <footnote>. On the other
side, <annotation> makes me think of something the user added in the
margin, while <footnote> better evoke the complementary relation a
footnote has with the text.
While I prefer <footnote>, I think both can do fine.
