Reopening issue for css and html problems:

First, it is very inconvenient to number the ids and hrefs of the reference link (in prose) and the footnote link (in the footer). Keep these attributes semantic but symmetrical. For example,

<sup><a class="Rf" id="rf-ellipsis">1</a></sup> <!-- in prose -->
<sup><a class="Fn" id="fn-ellipsis">1</a></sup> <!-- in footer -->

The spec should be that a reference id always starts with rf- and the footnote id always starts with fn-.

Second, are the sup Elements necessary? Wouldn't it be more concise to style the a.Rf and a.Fn Objects to appear as superscripts? Or do they semantically belong in a superscript?
