--- Comment #6 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Much as with using columns for page layout, sections (and frames) provide
structure to the document. For those requiring that layout-- the Format ->
Sections -> Options panel for each section provides for footnotes using
"collect at end of text" or endnotes "collect at end of section".

It is quite functional if a little obscure--but then this page layout is
somewhat specialized.

IMHO the dev effort needed to make the same page layout functions available via
normal running paragraph formatting is not justified.

Beleive converting paragraphs into 1 column sections and applying
footnote/endnote formatting against the section is sufficient for this style of
reference handling.  The only wart is the dependence on the additional
formatting controls from the Page style dialog's Footnote tab.

Otherwise, some dev work *is* needed to allow restructuring of documents with
movement of sections.

IMHO => WF
