i'm not sure what you are precisely referring with = respect to marks at to be
honnest, but i doubt it. the problem wih footnotes is = that they split apart
boxes without a decent way to interact with the = mechanism. that is okay if

but fails miserably if the special is trying to = implement a stack of regions
