I assume you're in the context of yet another badly broken book.
At the beginning of a para? Surely most often they're hard up against the end of a sentence, often the last in a paragraph; and occasionally in the middle of a sentence. Ah-ha you mean the number at the beginning of the note
How about 2 passes - first pass looks for the numbers in the text at end of sentences, and creates empty footnotes; second pass looks for ^p followed by superscripted digit(s) - writes para(s) 'somewhere' then searches for the empty footnote with matching number and dumps content of somewhere into it.
All it needs now is Sander to implement
Aside - within the context of reflowable formats surely there ought be no such thing as foot, chapter, and end notes - they're notes, pure and simple. I'd like mine in a sidebar that tracks the book i.e. clickfree notes. What I don't want is one at a time popups
