Yeah, as an example: try reading some Postmodern Philosophy... Many pages that are filled for 75% with footnotes offering comments/notes on the ideas that appear on the other 25% (even pages containing nothing *but* footnotes, continued from a previous page). I guess it's not as much fun to read as it is to write layout code for handling those situations... :-) Greetz, Andreas
