However, the `doc-noteref` role seems specific to footnotes:\r\n\r\n> A reference to a footnote, typically appearing as a superscripted number or symbol in the main body of text.\r\n\r\n1. Has it been determined that endnote references are not necessary?\r\n2. If not, is `doc-noteref` intended for use with endnotes?\r\n3. If so, the spec needs to clarify this.\r\n4. `doc-noteref` could be used for both footnotes and endnotes. The problem with this is that footnotes and endnotes can't be distinguished without traversing to the referenced note. Also, as I understand it, footnote and endnote references are usually distinguished visually, so I'd argue there should be an equivalent distinction in ARIA.\r\n5. Alternatively, a new role should be introduced for endnote references."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/w3c/aria/issues/comments/254699385","html_url":"https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/450#issuecomment-254699385","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/w3c/aria/issues/450","id":254699385,"user":{"login":"mattgarrish","id":1565164,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1565164?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish","html_url":"https://github.com/mattgarrish","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattgarrish/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-10-19T03:13:37Z","updated_at":"2016-10-19T03:13:37Z","body":"I can't say that I've seen a work that uses the same numbering system when it has both footnotes and endnotes. It runs counter to publishing tradition, in my experience.\r\n\r\nWhen a publisher mixes notes within the same publication, they traditionally distinguish them by the character reference, not visually (e.g., endnotes are numerically sequenced and footnotes use symbols or alpha characters).\r\n\r\nDoes that match your experience @TzviyaSiegman ?"}}
