Re: footnote in caption confuses texi2dvi

[Karl Berry]

    Perhaps they'll just start work in captions the same way as in other
    parts of @float, ie. the footnote is placed at the bottom of the
    page where the @float is defined.

Sounds ok.

    If the float goes to another page, the footnote stays behind...

That is very bad, but since floats don't float yet, it's not an issue :).

    OTOH, if the @float is known to be placed "here", it moght be useful
    to have a @footnote (or a margin note) inside it.

Yeah.  I think we could issue a warning if, when we start floating the
floats, there is a footnote.  Until then, better to support them than
not to support them, if it's not too hard.

Thanks.
