--- Comment #5 from Llelan D. <Ll...@TheSnakePitDev.com> ---
I just ran into this problem while trying to format a book with OpenOffice to
the specifications of a publisher. They require endnote anchors to be formatted
as "[1]" superscripted, and endnote text as "1. Blah, blah".

This issue prevents authors from fulfilling the common specifications of their
publishers. As such, the importance should be raised well above trivial (P3).

Since the specification by publishers of formatting details is so common, and
the historical format of note anchors (especially endnotes) quite commonly
differs from the bare superscripted number only allowed in OpenOffice, the type
of this issue should be changed to BUG. The current implementation that lacks
anchor before/after characters never fulfilled the common specifications
historically required by publishers. As such, it is a design flaw or BUG.

Authors MUST meet the format specifications of their publishers. They have no
choice in the matter and no publisher will make an exception because an
open-source tool has a bug that does not allow for an historically common note
anchor format.

This issues now has 8 votes, is critical to an author with a publisher, and has
not seen any action for over five years. It needs to be immediately addressed
with a much higher priority for the next release.
