That means with a very small number of footnotes you can get pretty superscript numerals for the labels. The use of non-numeric labels is due to the fact that you can only count to 3 with Latin-1 superscripts, and recycling when you run out of labels is common to all of the "set of characters"-based footnote styles. IIRC there is an option that allows doubling the footnote label when recycling, but that would look strange with numeric labels.
