Another idea (inspired by LaTeX's \footnotemark and \footnotetext) is
to use N<> to mark the footnote location and supply the text later in
the pod. Perhaps a "=begin notes" or just "=notes" directive. The
footnote text could be "=item" paragraphs. Both styles could live
together, I think.
I suppose this is neither here nor there, but I'm not a fan of
multi-sentence (much less multi-paragraph) footnotes. If the
information is important, why not work it into the main text or put it
in the Appendix? If it isn't important, why include it at all?
Can someone provide more information on Tom Christiansen's solution?
