Well, most word processors make quite clear difference: footnotes and endnotes. And quite common are books where both are used, e.g (bibliographical) references in the end of the text/book and explanatory notes under the pages. So ideally Scribus should support both types: footnotes that are placed on same page of the referenced text, and endnotes in the end of text/document. Marek Laane
