I believe it just better to stick with the LaTeX solutions
(e. g., [1]) rather than to generate something even more crazy.
For HTML, it is IMHO quite enough the current way of having text
of notes placed wherever you do so in the source ([2]).

I see one more problem. When I put

    [xetex writer]
    latex_footnotes=True

into ./docutils.conf, it doesn’t make any difference, I have to
set `--latex-footnotes` on the command line. Any idea, where I
failed to hook into the configuration system properly?

Thank you for that, it helped.

Best,
