How to create popup footnotes in iBooks which degrade well for other EPUB3 readers
The only requirements for popup footnotes in iBooks are:
* Ebook has to be an EPUB3
* epub:type "noteref" and "footnote"
So you can link to a totally separate document, as you normally would for endnotes,
but include the attributes so the <a> link behaves differently in iBooks, instead triggering the popup.
Original reference link would look something like this (in a file called ch001.html):
<a epub:type="noteref" href="footnote.html#note1">1</a></div>
