Sigh.
oeb-page-foot is for footers, not footnotes. It is not intended to be linked to an item on the page and repeats on every page until changed. there is also a head tag in the specs for a header line. I would like to see these supported for what they are designed for, not bastardized into footnotes.

Actually the direction for footnotes that matches this discussion is to place the footnote in the title of a span around the footnoted text and then popup a box displaying the title text when the user clicks on the visual link. The visual link could be selected like a regular link but the popup box would appear instead of following the link. The title idea is similar to the wave a browser displays help when you hover over a word. e-Ink can do this sort of popup already as it does for displaying a menu.
