*if* you were to generate the entire file again, things will be fine yes. i'm
talking about a scenario where for one reason or another you may not want to do
that, but may instead only want to export the most recent subtree which has been
added (since the last time it was exported). earlier when you tried to do that,
the footnote links would no longer work because of name attribute
collisions. this patch provides a way to prevent that.

no, i haven't. also, you could look at the patch. the code is pretty
self-explanatory.

not sure what you mean by this. are links visible when you print them? yes,
unless you're using invisible ink. the patch (if you cared to look) modifies the
name attribute of the a tags in question (footnote definition and footnote
references). the text within the a tag (the bit that is actually rendered on
screen/print) is unchanged.
