It didn't take too long - I used Textwrangler/GREP to do it. I could certainly do that on a live job, now I know it necessary. Just a pity it is!
Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I suspected the anchor would need to be completely in front of the entire <ol> structure -- which would then completely defeat the desired functionality -- to get around that MOBI constraint.
As annoying as it probably is... this should really be considered a bug in the ID MOBI plugin. This particular behavior/limitation (whatever) of the MOBI format has been around since the beginning. Adobe needs to take that into consideration at some point and stop producing MOBIs that
don't take that behavior into consideration. Turning endnotes into an ordered list with anchors
inside the structure that's responsible for generating those numbers is a recipe for MOBI link disaster. If enough users report the issue, maybe the next version will fix it.
Glad you got it worked out for your immediate needs, though.
