Textbooks generally do not have footnotes, and Wikibooks discourages their use for that reason. We still want to have the ability to provide precise sourcing in textbooks however. We would like to have the ability to use <ref>...</ref> throughout a book, and have a single <references/> which would then list all the references for the whole book. Since there is nothing in the database schema to discern what pages form a book, this will likely necessitate some hack like <references pages= Book/Intro, Book/Table of Contents Book/Chapter 1 ... > or something similar where all the pages of the book are specified manually.
Cannot go beyond the page at the moment. Completely depends on the 'page collection' concept defined in bug 15071.
