I'm thinking I want something that is related to the only existing footnote
recipe in MarkupExtensions. That will make it easier for someone transitioning
to the newer system. So, I was thinking something like this:

[^footnote text^]  - Remember text. Make a reference (from MarkupExtension).
[^#^]              - Spit out the next footnote (form MarkupExtension).
[^^#other^^]	   - Make a reference to footnote '#other'. Use group.page#other
for a different page.
(:footnote #other:) - Start of text for footnote '#other'.
(:footnote:)       - End of current footnote.
(:footnotelist args:)   - Produce all footnotes via pagelist-like mechanism,
including templates.

The idea is to support things like lists inside of footnotes (which don't
currently work if the reference point is, for example, inside a table) and to
allow for separate pages and areas in which to compose long footnotes, so they
don't get lost in the running text.

All the above is just off the top of my head though. I haven't thought out any
of the details yet. I just wanted to know what similar recipes existed first.

Besides, I need to finish this skin I'm working on before I start another recipe.
