Scholarly books sometimes use both footnotes and endnotes for

tangential discussions, or vice versa. I've never seen an HTML
document try to make this distinction, though.
Distinguishing footnotes and endnotes would require a multipage
document: footnotes go at the bottom of this page, endnotes at the
bottom of some other page.
Since HTML5 is primarily about single pages, I suggest calling any
such element footnote and not having a separate endnote element.
This is a good example of picking fewer over more semantics as
discussed in another thread.
I agree with that. The distinction between a footnote and an endnote
would be better left to the stylesheet.
