Dave, The current draft has ‘footnote’ and ‘inline-footnote’ values for the float property, but this seems like a property of the footnote area more than each individual footnote. You mentioned on IRC that people do like to mix block and inline footnotes to save space, but that seems like an authoring nightmare to pick which footnotes are inline and which are block. What if there was a property you could set on the footnote area that took these values? block - footnotes are all display block inline - footnotes are all display inline inline-block - footnotes are all display inline-block, which means that a series of shorter footnotes would all render on a single line, while longer ones would render on their own. We might call the property display-inside, but I’m not sure if adding inline and inline-block values to that particular property would be the correct thing to do. Thanks, Alan
