It's conceivable that equations and/or figures should be allowed in footnotes (although figures could be hard to format there). You could submit an RFE; if so, you might want to first initiate a discussion on the DocBook mailing list
Funny! I did exactly that before seeing your suggestion. See: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/201312/msg00007.html Thanks, Erik. , as I did; see e.g.
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200907/msg00003.html and the subsequent discussion in that thread. Clearly there are some things that should not occur inside footnotes which can otherwise occur in paragraphs, other footnotes being one of them. As Hussein mentioned in his reply, this is not something that can be specified in an XML schema, at least not in RelaxNG, and therefore has to be captured in something like Schematron; hence the impossibility of easily preventing XXE from inserting equations in footnotes. The difficulty is not something that could be trivially fixed--it has to do with the Chomsky hierarchy of formal grammars, and what sorts of grammars can be written in RelaxNG.
