How WordPress Plugins Should Handle Front End Resources

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS intended for fleshing out and feedback

It's very common for people to be unhappy with how a WordPress plugin adds front end resources to their site. If a plugin needs CSS, the plugin will add a <link> element to that CSS. If the plugin needs JavaScript, it will add a <script> to that JavaScript.

Plugins do this because it works. It's damn important for a WordPress plugin to work, even in adverse conditions. They rightfully want good ratings and little customer support.

But this comes at the cost of additional HTTP requests. In optimizing front end performance of a site, reducing the number of HTTP requests is a huge thing. Front end developers want to decide and control how front end resources are being handled, and WordPress plugins don't typically make this easy on them.

The only requirements for popup footnotes in iBooks are: 
* Ebook has to be an EPUB3
* epub:type "noteref" and "footnote"

So you can link to a totally separate document, as you normally would for endnotes, 
but include the attributes so the <a> link behaves differently in iBooks, instead triggering the popup. 

Original reference link would look something like this (in a file called ch001.html): 

<a epub:type="noteref" href="footnote.html#note1">1</a></div>

<?php
    //set up pods::find parameters to limit to 5 items
    $param = array(
        'limit' => 5,
    );
    //create pods object
    $pods = pods('pod_name', $params );

    //check that total values (given limit) returned is greater than zero
    if ( $pods->total() > 0 ) {
