Hmm, that's odd.  I did think at first that what I'd written _would_ 
select them all, but in practice, when I've done a test like this:

<footnote>
   <annotation>
     <para>
       my real annotation
     </para>
     <para>
       test para
     </para>
   </annotation>
   <para>
     the footnote itself
   </para>
</footnote>

... the "test para" doesn't appear anywhere in the HTML.

Thoughts on this mystery welcome, though not crucial to me at the moment 
as it works anyway :-)


As an addendum, I've also realised that I seem to need to do

   <para>my real annotation</para>

rather than

   <para>
     my real annotation
   </para>

if I want to avoid getting &#xA; before & after the title (white space) 
- not that it shows in the visible output, but it was making my HTML 
look untidy.

Haven't tried this yet, but thanks.
