Hans,

Even with the local scope, I cannot get multiple enumerations in a paragraph at the same time as I get inright labels in footnotes. The footnote enumerations appear only with display=yes, but that causes paragraph breaks after each enumeration. The default alignment works, but I need marginal indices.

Labels seem to me a bit more flexible here since they do not require paragraph semantics for termination. I am not looking for a taggable mark, simply a visible reference index to which reference can be applied.

So, with enumerations providing no benefit and introducing additional problems, is it unreasonable to request that labels be officially supported in MKIV and not marked as MKII relicts?

Here is my latest test harness.
