Both SIPB and Athena might consider installing this (or finding a better
version) so that LaTeXers can generate endnotes.

I use the following, admittedly not perfect style option. I would like
to see a better one.

%
% Many journals in the humanities and social sciences require endnotes
% rather than footnotes. This style option reads the contents of
% a \footnote command verbatim into a file \jobname.end, whence
% they may be retrieved by an \endnotes command.
%
% It is a \documenstyle option, e.g., \documentstyle[endnotes]{article}.
% Place the command \endnotes where you want the notes to appear:
% after the last footnote, usually right before the bibliography.
% The \endnotes command creates a new page.
%
% The option works by redefining LaTeX's private \@footnotetext command,
% and is modeled after DEK's \answer macro in the TeXbook.
% It is always a bit dicey to redefine commands that you only
% vaguely understand, but I have tested it on my own manuscripts
% under LaTeX 2.09 and it seems to work. I do not consider myself an expert
% and would be glad to receive a more elegant version.
%
% ***************** THERE IS ONE KNOWN (NONFATAL) PROBLEM: **************
% Since \ is catcoded to 12 for verbatim copying, if your footnote's text
% contains an unequal number of \{'s and \}'s, (for intance, if you
% have a \left\{ balanced by a \right.), then TeX believes
% you have unmatched braces and does not figure out where the
% argument of the \footnote command ends. The CURE is to use \lbrace
% and \rbrace instead.
%
% If anyone has a better solution, please let me know:
