Am I alone in finding that more readable?
It may be, but it's not the way it's normally done. Footnote/endnote
markers normally go right next to the thing being marked. Also, as I
just pointed out in reply to Steve, the spaces are breaking spaces,
and word-wrap may end up putting the footnote marker at the start of
the NEXT line. That's certainly not more readable.
Very true. The problem for me, as I mentioned in the part you didn't
quote, is the gratuitous use of square brackets. If reference links
were to be formatted print-style as small raised numbers, that would
help a lot in terms of reducing clutter.
