The idea would be to allow, for footnotes, an alternate syntax using extensible syntax. Then it could handle anything. Also, it would not be necessary to hack on the footnote code quite that hard. With the $[ syntax, things might be a little easier and the parsing code potentially factored in a decent way. Dunno if this is the easiest first use for ES, but it might be worth considering.
