Actually "footnote" is a wrong word here because the problem we are
talking about here is about "note".
>From OSIS docs:
8.4. Note Placement
The placement attribute on the note element is used to specify the
placement of a note within the text. In
addition to the usual "x-" preceeding a custom value, the following
values have been defined:
? foot
? end
? inline
? left
? right
? interlinear
? apparatus
Probably no module uses this ATM. But "inline" is one possibility so
"broken" is not a right word when talking about the placement of <note>
tag. But on the other hand, OSIS is also for printing, not only
monitors. We should display the notes in the most convenient style for
the end user - otherwise we could as well use PDF format which can give
the original visual appearance. So, basically you are still right :)
