Re: [docbook-apps] footnotes in tables (docbook 4.5 and 1.75.2 stylesheets)

Indeed, your analysis appears to be correct that HTML tables do not handle footnotes 
as table footnotes.  They should still appear, but just as ordinary footnotes.  I 
would classify this as a bug that needs fixing.  Can you file a bug report on the 
DocBook SourceForge site?  Thanks.
