I'm trying to figure out if it's at all possible to accomplish something, so I figured I'd bounce it out there for general consumption.

I'd like to be able to put footnotes in-stream but have them show up at the end of a stream.

For example (bogus pseudo-code, doesn't actually work, for illustrated purposes only, do not try this at home):

    <div class="section">
    Some text.

    <div class="foot">footnote</div>

    More text.
    </div>

Should show up like:

    Some text.

    More text.

    footnote

I can't figure out a way to do this without using absolute positioning, which takes this out of the realm of structured markup.

The actual goal is to be able to write a single structured document which shows up on screen with footnotes at the end of their containing section, and if I'm really lucky, in print with footnotes at the end of the page on which their "normal flow" tag would appear.

Anyone have any thoughts on if this is even possible, or should I go crawling back to LaTeX?
