footnotes

[Holger Klawitter <holger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I am confronted with the following type of footnotes.

<!ELEMENT fn - - (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST fn
	type	numeric|square|dagger	#required
>

Now I want to number footnotes with a function like
	(element-number-conforming is-numeric? (current-node))
but now I'm stuck. element-number cannot skip the other types,
q-element is not implemented, preced does not yield cousins and scanning
a node list with all descentants of the root node seems to be far too
inefficient (out of memory with 128M).

Is there any reasonable way to accomplish this?

Regards
	Holger Klawitter

PS: is it a bug that the parent of the root node (!= grove root) has no 
	children, not even the root?
