Not a direct answer to your question, but:

I find that inline footnotes solve a lot of problems:
locality of reference is a huge deal both cognitively and
for organization; they cannot be put in the wrong sections
by mistake; they can't get numbers mixed up; they can't get
deleted or commented without the corresponding part doing so
in the normal case; it is not necessary to follow them to
check to see if they are there or what they are or where
they are; they can't get refiled or separated from their
definitions by headline additions; and they trigger fewer
numbering bugs.

They also, apparently, can be copied more easily.

The disease DOES progress.  MANY people have died from it.  ANYBODY
can get it.  There is NO hope without action.  This means YOU.
