In short: yes. At least, that's my vision. Something as simple as: note { vertical-align: super; font-size:80%; } would achieve what you were talking about. However, I think I would also propose that the default presentation for note is equivalent to the default presentation for <sup> anyway... Since that is typically what is expected.
