In order to fulfill the needs of the "normal-graphical" users for 
interactivity I have the following construct:

        text text text text text 
                <div class="footnote>1
                        <div class="footnotetext">
                                footnote text footnote text footnote text
                        </div>
                </div>
        continue text text text text text

"Footnote" is defined in css using the interactive parts of css, 
namely :hover. It works perfectly with graphical browsers and speech 
synthesis but in lynx this woud look like this:

        text text text text text footnote text footnote text footnote text 
continue 
text text text text text
<<<<<<<<
Is that really open text within "div" with no "p" around it? That is not
proper HTML. In any case, there is nothing in HTML that defines a text in
one spot to be shown in another, which footnote (and endnote) is.

It is usual to do such by a fragment URL, that is

        text text text text
                <a href="#footnote1"> text </a>
        continue text text text text text
.....
        <p id="footnote1">
                footnote text footnote text footnote text
        </p>

Here is a method that in Lynx is useless, and, I guess, an abuse of attribute
"title":

        text text text text
                <a title="footnote text footnote text footnote text"> text 
                </a>
        continue text text text text text
