        =              HOW I WOULD LIKE FOOTNOTES TO = BE

I've yet to see a fully developed plan for the = ultimate footnote scheme.
This is just an attempt at a compromise and hopefully = not the last word
about the issue.

Humanities load their publications with notes. Stocks = them full of'em.
They come in three shapes:

        1. = Citations
        2. End = notes
        3. = Footnotes

1. Citations

These are used to inform the reader where the authos = has this from.
They're usually of the type

        <left = parenthesis> <author>, <year> <right = parenthesis>

eg. (Skinner, 1936) or (Skinner, 1936, pp = 36-42).

theapa.sty takes care of this and should come standard = with LaTeX3 (or its
functionality).

2. End notes and footnotes.

Footnotes are also quite simple. They go at the bottom = of the page. But
there should be some option to tell them whether to = span the entire footer
or only the column in which it appears.

End notes sometimes are collated at the end of each = chapter, sometimes at
the end of each section, etc.  What I might like = is to allow this:

\newnote{chapternote}[chapter]

        \chapternote takes an argument (the note), numbering restarts = at
        each = chapter.

\newnote{note}[section]

        Numbering = restarts at each section.

\newnote{endnote}

        Numbering = never restarts.

OK, but where do the notes go?

The command \note<notename> generates a command = \show<notename>.

At each `\showchapternote', all the `\chapternotes' = collected this far and
not already shown will be displayed. Likewise for all = the other
self-defined notes. This command should do nothing to = the numbering. A
warning should be displayed if there are notes that = are not shown at when
LaTeX has finished processing the document.

This may be overdoing it a bit. But I think this would = be beautiful.

Suggestions?
