In footnote.el
     (defun footnote-mode (&optional arg)
       "Toggle footnote minor mode.

Reorder the above with the most common operations first. Also
hardwiring them here often looses track of the complete list. Perhaps
just mention the most often used and say that is all you are mentioning.

I've reordered these for Emacs 23 and fixed a couple of additional
bugs.  Please have a look, for example, via

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous <at> cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs/lisp/mail/footnote.el

What do you mean by "hardwiring" here?

mr> bugs.  Please have a look, for example, via
mr> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous <at> cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs/lisp/mail/footnote.el
(Say. What if one is reading this mail on a Windows machine at the
public library (where there is a waiting line of people and one only
has 30 minutes)... Hope there is also a HTTP address.)
OK, I managed to use cvs.

Say, perhaps make it a pure UTF-8 file, changing the latin-1 hardwired stuff.

If you just dumped the C-c ! map, then you wouldn't need any
"\\[Footnote....] Footnote..." lines. (But then you couldn't order them
exactly. OK, never mind. Thanks.)
