FWIW, for reference, this previous thread discussed rendering inline vs. “true” footnotes in some detail:
There seemed to be a rough consensus in favor of rendering them as “true” footnotes given the usability issues folks like Paul highlighted with them (and while I was previously an advocate of the inline style, he convinced me to reconsider and lean somewhat in the other direction). But that discussion only captured a relatively modest slice of the most active members, and as Łukasz mentions, the ones who likely have more of an issue with the current display. Maybe it’s worth trying, though, and seeing what feedback we get?
