I think one reason why existing content models exclude them is the problem of how to render them. If you have, for example, numbered footnotes, then how do you number a footnote to a footnote? And how would an application programatically determine how to number it? If you have marginalia that annotate other marginalia, where do you place the additional marginalia? --Mike
