The problem that concerned me is that endnotes may not be included in
every LaTeX system, although my experience is only with fully-featured
LaTeX systems.
When the document does not contain an endnote, the package is of
course not necessary, and including it is therefore not optimal. This
is also true for packages such as multirow (for complex tables) and
some others maybe.
On the other hand, the dynamic feature I'm proposing does not deserve
the effort of the two-pass analysis you proposed. It this happens to
be the only option, I guess I would give up...
