Honestly, I'd like to remove all footnotes. The watermark identifying them
is so small that many people don't even see that it's a link, and the fact
that it's at the bottom of the page makes it even more isolated from the
text it refers to.
Another thing I've been thinking about is the "see below". Because it
doesn't have a link and in some cases is placed within a large paragraph,
that "see below" appears very far away, and the user also doesn't know how
to find it.

Perhaps we can find a better way to display notes, footnotes, and see below=
.

Marcos
