Yes, I like the mechanism, as it does what it is supposed to do, until 
due to spacing the float gets an unexpected positioning while carrying a 
reference.

I fully understand. Thank you Hans.

Sure, I can also place a source in the appendice, but why not have the 
opportunity to do both, since basically it works? I think from the 
stylistic point of view I don't expect to turn back a page when looking 
for a foot note.
Since many experienced users have workarounds for many situations, I 
hoped to find one here. Hans' reply was satisfactory to me too. :D

Greetings, Sebastian
