I really would feel better if we had some advice coming from Kovid Goyal on this endnote display topic.[/QUOTE]
When you think about it footnotes / endnotes are coded just like any other hypertext links and how we expect them to display depends purely on whether they are real foot/end notes or simple links. I don't think there is any provision in EPUB2 (unlike FB2 for instance where notes appear at the bottom of a page as in WP programs such as Word or LibreOffice) for distinguishing between the two. About the only difference is that end/footnotes usually (but not necessarily) contain a "backlink" to return you to the original text
As most books will probably contain just notes rather than simple links it might be useful if the viewer had an option to disable the display of links in the footnote box as a viewer preference. This would allow someone viewing a book containing internal links rather than notes to view the book as intended, i.e. by following the link in the main window.
