And then we will have that one feature request to cross reference a
previous footnote! :-) In the above case, how would a person go
about asking someone to refer to an earlier footnote?

Unless I've got it wrong, wouldn't it be better to do something like
[fn:kenpo { Kenpo is the name of several martial arts}]
(keep the keyword and definition in one place?)
And all future references go as 'see [fn:kenpo] to understand the
meaning'. Presumably when exported, all these keywords stuff
disappears and are replaced by standard LaTeX style footnote numbers,
right?
