I think you are on a slippery slope here towards author defined languages that are only usable for rendering into the media types for which the author has provide a style sheet. For XHTML to have any purpose at all, some level of semantics has to part of the core language. The question is whether or not footnotes fall within the core mandate. My feeling is that they do. (By footnotes, I mean parenthetical remarks that would be disruptive if read normally, not necessarily things that appear at the bottom of a page.)
