There indeed is a difference, I'm not such a great purist...

I have two footnotes on one page, one long[1] and one short[2]. The long one
is broken on two lines, and it looks like

------------------------------
1  The  long  one  is  streched  a  bit  due  to  one
  so-very-very-long-word-that-TeX-wont-hyphenate...
2The short

It should be either

------------------------------
1The  long  one  is  streched  a  bit  due  to  one
  so-very-very-long-word-that-TeX-wont-hyphenate...
2The short

or even better

------------------------------
1 The  long  one  is  streched  a  bit  due  to  one
  so-very-very-long-word-that-TeX-wont-hyphenate...
2 The short

i.e. footnotes should use \hangfrom to be left aligned.

Maybe you must use \sloppy to see the difference.
Note that\footnote{
Bla
}

is equivalent to\footnote{ bla }
