Note that the footnote in question is inside a one-sentence paragraph. (because the comment above is splitting the paragraph into two) >> More general comments: >> 1.

This does not sound right. I think you are mixing font configuration and localization. fontspec cannot set localization. So, even for single-language document, you may need to load polyglossia or babel simply to setup correct pagination, punctuation, etc. As a simple example, consider a document written in British English. There will be 0 problems with fonts, but you still need babel/polyglossia to setup for subtle differences in punctuation rules. >> 2.
