Right-rail - The idea of citations/footnotes shown parallel in the new whitespace.

Internal mockup and notes



 * Positives:
 * 1) They give useful added context in some footnotes, e.g. (FAs )
 * 2) * Katsud%C5%8D Shashin
 * 3) * Samuel Merrill Woodbridge
 * 4) Would help readers to understand sourcing concepts, especially if there was a header with an info-link to w:WP:Verifiability.
 * Drawbacks:
 * 1) Less beneficial if short-cite style is used, e.g. (FAs)
 * 2) * Si Ronda
 * 3) * Nico Ditch
 * 4) Increased prominence of external links, which will mis-motivate COI-edits, e.g. (FAs)
 * 5) * 2005 ACC Championship Game
