But I'm uncertain as to whether the precise formatting requirements have actually been documented.

There's no way to specify "a click of the back button".
The precise requirements for a pop-up footnote are as follows:

In the body text:

Code:
<A id="anchor1" href="#fn1">[1]</A>
In the footnote:

Code:
<p><A id="fn1" href="#anchor1">[1]</A>
Text of footnote 1...
</p>

<p><A id="fn2" href="#anchor2">[2]</A>
Text of footnote 2...
</p>
When you click the "[1]" footnote hyperlink, the text of footnote 1 will appear in a pop-up window, and will stop at the point at which the next footnote starts.

You must have the backlink present, or you will not get popup footnotes.
