This doesn't have to be the case. A windowing browser could render the footnote on request as a small popup window. I find with print media that footnotes and endnotes detract from a document's readability by forcing me to continuously switch my reading focus from a passage to the end of the page or document. I think we can do better on windowing browsers, if we have a real footnote element. -- Liam Quinn
