Nicolas,

I don=E2=80=99t know how difficult this would be in terms of the code, but =
would
it be possible to introduce a new syntax for multiparagraph footnotes?
Something like:

#+begin_footnote 12
This is footnote number 12.

etc.
#+end_footnote

This has the advantage that long footnote definitions could be folded,
which (AFAIK) they currently cannot.  And it would not have the problem
with multiple lists.

Just a suggestion,
