However, this report raises an interesting question about footnotes:
should we still support plain (e.g., "[1]") footnotes in Org documents?
The pattern is very common an regularly introduces false positives.
Also, IIRC, it was introduced for non-Org buffers (e.g., in Message mode
buffers), to provide some common features with "footnote.el" library.
I think we could remove this kind of footnotes, and yet preserve
`org-footnote-normalize' to change Org footnotes into these ones, for
foreign documents.
+1. The false positives are a common problem for me, and [fn:1] works cleanly
