I don't think you can have a <p> inside a <div> as they are both paragraph level elements.

Thanks for pointing that out, Jellby; the footnote CSS then becomes pretty similar to what I started with. The W3C validator still accepts it:
Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
span.footnote {
display:inline;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
background:yellow;
width: 0.6em;
height:0.6em;
overflow:hidden;
position:fixed;
}

span.footnote:active {width:auto;height:auto;}
span.footnote span{
display:block;
font-size:0.5em;
margin:0 0.2em;
}
span.footnote span+span{ font-size:0.9em;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="footnote">Sic transit gloria mundi.Click on this footnote.<span class="footnote">
     <span>1</span>
     <span>Isn't it fun reading through all the footnotes?</span>
</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Time to see the code still needs fixing...

Code:
<p class="footnote">Sic transit gloria mundi.Click on this footnote.<span class="footnote">
     <span>1</span>
     <span>Isn't it fun reading through all the footnotes?</span>
</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;
Pretaerae censeo Cartago esse delendam. Navigare necesse est, vivere non est necesse.</p>
should be...

Code:
<p class="footnote">Sic transit gloria mundi.Click on this footnote.<span class="footnote">1Isn't it fun reading through all the footnotes? Pretaerae censeo Cartago esse delendam. Navigare necesse est, vivere non est necesse.</p>
You don't need and you don't want spans that do nothing as all they do is make the size of the XML larger and that could be an issue if it's too large. Also, those non-breaking spaces can go too. They don't actually do anything in this case.

JSWolf's edits are incorrect.

The empty spans are actually <p>-surrogates (see the stylesheet), and the non-breaking spaces prevent the footnote marker from running into the next word.

Please try code in a browser or similar before asserting and correcting apparent errors.

Yes, you can. A <div> can contain block or inline elements. The restriction preventing block-level content applies only to <p>. I think I pasted the relevant part of the spec not long ago... here it is.

But they do something. They are matched by the "span.footnote span" and "span.footnote span+span" selectors.

JS has zero tolerance for code he didn't write. I think it might actually cause him physical pain to see code that doesn't conform to his personal conventions.
