    Hmm. Does AbiWord not allow margin changes inside of a footnote?
    Wouldn't a section be necessary to allow for this functionality?

    OOo handles a footnote roughly like this:

    <footnote>
    <p>
    My footnote text goes here.
    </p>
    </footnote>

    (inserted directly after the footnote reference)

    wpd2sxw actually does not allow a section inside a footnote: it
    interprets margin changes as a paragraph property, "faking" the insert
    of a section (as it does everywhere, actually).

    I am open to suggestions on how to handle this within libwpd to best
    support our target applications.
