Subject: Importing files with footnotes

I don't use Abiword very much for editing, being a LaTeX user, but Abiword
is my weapon of choice when it comes to reading documents that people send
me in MSWord format. I realize that probably my request has more to do
with wv than Abiword proper, but (until footnotes are supported in
Abiword's native format) I'd find it more useful if footnotes were merged
inside the document rather than appended at the end, maybe with an outcome
like:
blah blah blah[FN: this is a footnote]
because otherwise it is difficult to know where the footnote text
belongs. At least, I'd like to have an option to go that way instead of
the current behaviour.
Apart from that, I'd also like to see an option to translate tables to
tabbed entries, but that would be more complicated, wouldn't it? (I
understand working with tables is a very messy affair and I am not
complaining about that being postponed).
Anyway, AbiWord is a great piece of software. Thanks to all developers.
