Fine, I agree that that Note is probably not read because it is so far. And
we could do the same thing for footnotes, these appear very, very far from
the text they refer to. But the problem is how to display these notes.
In this example, the aggregates table is huge, and it wouldn't be
interesting to break it up just because of a note.
Also, a note refers to two items in the table, which are bool_and and
bool_or, so what do we do ? Repeat the information ?

Marcos
