I’d also prefer that.  I have often used inline tasks for long
discussions.

One downside would be that it would move the tast contents further away
from the main contents it’s discussing.  E.g. I have used it for
discussions with co-authors and I think they’d maybe find footnotes
confusing.  For just me, footnotes TODOS would be great.

Note, you can also have inline todos: [[TODO::Inline todo text]].
