Hey everybody (especially those editing the Confluence docs),

I always like a clear distinction between internal and external links
on a web site, particularly when I'm doing some focused reading on a
subject and don't want to accidentally click off to a barely-related
site.  Many of the Tapestry documentation pages intermingle internal
and external links, even in the same sentence, requiring very
carefully clicking by those who want to just browse *within* the site.

Earlier versions of confluence (or maybe a different theme?) displayed
a little outbound arrow icon after external links to make them
visually distinctive, but that feature seems to have gone away in
recent versions of Confluence like the one Tapestry uses.

But another way of making that clear distinction is by using
Confluence's convenient {footnotes} tag for external links.

I switched one page over to using footnotes as an experiment:

What do you all think?
