Irritated by Apache FOP footnote bug

I have managed to become quite productive with a combination of Serna for DocBook editing, and use of Apache FOP for producing PDF output. Except for some small snags that were easily worked around, there is a long standing Apache FOP bug for handling of footnotes in tables and lists - there simply is no easy workaround, so footnotes can't be used in these situations... (crap).

Hi, I just saw your post. If it may help you: I posted a workaround on my blog some time ago. Of course, I hope the bug will be fixed asap in a new release (currently, the trunk version of FOP doesn't have it anymore). HTH.
