--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
bug 55436 added a fixed table of 'Chicago' sequence footnote markers.

It is a specific enhancement with hardcoded table with logic for repeating
markers as the sequence expands.

Doing this one-off per reference system, or "simply" giving the user a means to
specify their own sequence of footnote marks would lead to endless enhancement
and feature creep.

Instead, we really should be looking to implement support for CSL (Citation
Style List) where in addition to Footnote markings: parenthetical refs, list
sequence, indentation, font, fontsize, etc. are defined.

See bug 121945 and dupes for what CSL offers and what is gained by pursuing
more reasonable CSL support to parse and load document styling, greatly
improving integration with referencing/authoring tools like Zotero or Mendeley.
