IMHO a note is simply that. Its 'appearance' as being at the foot, head or side is immaterial. It _is_ very useful, but its representation as boxed text, collated notes at the end of the chapter, at the foot of each page or screen etc. is (should be) down to the individual reader. I would support the use of note as a couger element, then leave the rendering of such to the style sheet. A visually impaired readers requirement is very different to a reader on screen. Default it, but permit it. Is html4 fixed in concrete? <quote>his feature wasn't considered sufficiently valuable by vendors </quote> seems a poor reason to ignore something in regular use for the last couple of hundred years. I would support such an addition. Dave Pawson
