Sample document

STR: 
* Some text with footnotes, eg. Lorem¹ ipsum² dolor³
* Apply a character style with very small font size to "ipsum" and to "dolor"
with very large => footnote anchors adjust properly
* Change the Footnote Anchor character style => hell breaks loose

I would expect that a) "Footnote Anchor" has no effect anymore since I
explicitly use different CS, and b) Footnote Anchor uses some percentage, which
doesn't work either and something like 80% is calculated to the PS, I guess.
Plus, changes to the "Footnote Anchor" are not reliably undone.

As the CS is handled very specifically I agree with TH to disable the font size
attribute. However, users who assign a different CS per Tools > Footnote &
Endnote run into trouble anyway. Ultimately the footnote characters should not
use a dedicated style but some modifier attributes to the used CS/PS (namely
position only). Doubt this makes everyone happy.

MSO seems to have no style for footnotes. There is no way to colorize all
anchors, for example (and the formatting from the example is not read
correctly).
