But why? There have been a number of times in the past that I wanted
to create a footnote on a web page, but it couldn't be done and I just
use endnotes as a compromise. I'm sure other people will also find
the claim that "a footnote is a presentational construct that is never
[used] in non-paged media" very odd and illogical.

It certainly is not currently achievable in HTML, but "never" in
non-paged media?

The 'net used to be run by smart people; now many sites are run by
idiots. So SAD... (Sites that do spam filtering on mails sent to the
abuse contact need to be cut off the net...)
