The beginnings of Endnotes already exist in the debug build, but last time
I played with them they didn't work. So, this is definitely when, not if,
and while they *probably* won't be in 1.0, they won't be far behind, I
think.

I don't know what the plan, if any, is on this.

Go to bugzilla at:
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/
and check to see whether someone else has suggested this (I don't think
so). If not, file it as a request for enhancement. (That means setting the
severity to 'enhancement'.) I think it would be a nice feature, so putting
it in bugzilla means it won't get forgotten.
