It can't just popup-ify all links it encounters after all (think ToC). So there's going to need to be some sort of consensus about what the code looks like the represents a footnote link ... as well as a consensus on how the target code (the part that's actually going to be popped up) should be formatted. So while I agree that it doesn't have to be complicated at all, it would probably be best if it was standardized in some manner.
There does seem to be some hope for standardisation of footnotes in the ePub3 specification.
