Well, as I suggested above, the primary source for doctrine is the collective wisdom of the community of practice as validated by vetting, not written sources. If it was up to me, I would have a bibliography but no foot- or endnotes. I think it's a mistake to give the impression that you're creating a work of scholarship if, in fact, you're not.
