As well as allowing multiple short footnotes on a line, Adobe could allow 
long footnotes to flow from a right to the left following page.  It could 
also balance footnotes on facing pages.  If a footnote reference is on a 
right page, it should flow back a long footnote onto the facing left page. 
 Where a succession of longish footnotes follow each other, they should be 
placed at the foot of successive pages.

These are all standard publishing practice, yet here we are at v. 7.x and 
they have still not been implemented.  There was a time when FrameMaker 
was being taken up by academics but until a few things are fixed (like 
interfacing to BiblioText, etc) it ain't going to happen.

In fact, press a few more buttons and you can get me ranting about how 
FrameMaker should always work in double spreads -- balancing facing short 
pages would be a good start.
