Yes, I know. But the way footers are implemented in the epub standard, they could very easily be used for footnotes. See, epub-style footers are not universal throughout the file. You could specify a different footer element ever other element if you wanted to, and then clear it afterwards.
This just begs to be used for footnotes. So you could add a footnote reference to your text like this:
Code:
<div class="footnote" style="display: oeb-page-foot">[1] The Lemming Conspiracy by Wacko Cookie</div>
<p>The proof that lemmings indeed do control the world can be found throughout modern literature [1].</p>
<div class="footnote" style="display: oeb-page-foot"></div>
You would need to list the footer above the first reference, and then clear it below the reference. The footer would be displayed while the <p> element is displayed. When the paragraph goes off the screen, the clearing footer would take over.
