There is a more general question, then. Is there an easy *and standard* way to access the number from CSS? Ie, something using note:before, a standard class with a spam, something like that. If that is the case, then I can control whether the arabic number would appear as superscript.

(I was really reacting on Liam's comment that the value in the title cannot have markup, ie, <sup>)
