Since I already am in spamming mode I guess I can as well post a basic
XSL template for <footref> too, trivially translated from the <a
class="footnote"> template:
<xsl:template match="footref">
<xsl:apply-templates />
<sup>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:text>#</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="@idref" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:number count="footref" from="/" level="any" format="1" />
</a>
</sup>
</xsl:template>
Now I wonder how hard it would be to include a check that the number
of footnotes and footrefs make sense...
