Footnotes are where all the fun is. :) I myself am partial to a bit of the parenthetical, though I find myself indulging in the practice mostly in blogs and emails and such, where convenient footnote tools are (mysteriously, to me) lacking.<br /><br />It ought to be simplicity itself to include footnote-like functionality in e-publications. Even a simple hyperlink on a superscript number (barely changing the look) could be configured to appear as a little pop-up, of something.
