(Ah well, I'm a recordman for typos...:-))

I was thinking too about the database approach, but a system of  
replacements would be enough for my needs.
It would allow me to organize better the source files.

Yes, that's true. But I was thinking about e.g. an article with long  
footnotes

This is a possibility, indeed

Of course it would be interesting for critical editions.
My main concern was not so advanced. The separation between body text  
and footnotes is
the only thing I miss from wysisyg.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
