The argument goes like this: "Mr. Moeller-Herrmann, in footnote 477, your argument is wrong and you have to cite XYZ". At the moment I have to compile the lyx document, check the dvi, find footnote 477, look for and remember some significant text part, go back to lyx, search for the remembered text part, check back with the dvi document to see if I am at the correct position, then start typing. Now with footnote numbering, I would scroll down until I see footnote 477, start typing. Do you understand why it would be useful for me (and others)?
