Hmm. Footnotes appear to be an awkward solution for this. In HTML they
might be not be that intrusive, but in the PDFs I find it annoying if
they clutter the end of every other page.
We could (more or less) easily provide two separate variants of the
book. Of course, this would require the reader to choose beforehand what
he wants. *shrug* Just an idea.
