In fact, I have a local branch that tries to properly support footnotes
in TITLE. However, I don't think it can work in the general case.
Indeed, there is no way for the export process to know whether the title
is going to be exported or not. Note that :with-title is not sufficient,
because the export back-end may ignore its value. Current export could
also be "body only", but, again, some back-ends may use title within
body, and not template. During a "subtree" export, the TITLE keyword
could be overridden by an EXPORT_TITLE property...
If the export process cannot have this information,
`org-export-get-footnote-number' and
`org-export-footnote-first-reference-p' return values are not reliable
anymore.
As a consequence, I have /another/ local branch that disables footnotes
in keywords altogether.
Regards,
