In KWord I do want to see some tags like this, but at the moment I don't see
how we can put this into KWord, it is still to beta for that. (No new features
before a 1.0 release)

We plan to have footnotes in the same way latex uses those, and we plan to 
have some sort of endnotes.
But at the moment these are not supported well.

Because I am not really at home in the kind of documents which need that (I am
mainly a DTP man) I think it is always good to talk about how the 
implementation would be best in KWord. So feel free to help us out here.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
