I'll double check all the relevant methods in the footnote and footnotes 
classes. At the moment I'm focused on bottom-of-the-page notes because that's 
what I need to generate in the context of my client work that is motivating 
these updates but definitely need to make sure end notes are properly handled. 
I wanted to get a pull request in before I spent to much time just to make sure 
I wasn’t going off the rails somewhere.

Cheers,

Eliot

    Have you looked through XWPFFootnote and XWPFFootnotes? XWPFDocument has
    some code to create footnotes as well, but it appears that endnotes are
    incorrectly references without having a class of thier own. Maybe you
    should try correcting these.
