Re: HTML-Note and bibliographies

In short: yes.  At least, that's my vision.

Something as simple as:

note { vertical-align: super; font-size:80%; }

would achieve what you were talking about.  However, I think I would also
propose that the default presentation for note is equivalent to the default
presentation for <sup> anyway...  Since that is typically what is expected.
