Exactly. I hope to see this in ConTeXt soon. And better than the LaTeX one; in
LaTeX, it's hard to use \footenote[mark,text] more than once per time: you have
to manually set the numbers in cases like

rich\footnotemark text\footnotemark with\footnotemark lots of footnotes

then \footnotetext would only refer to the last footnotemark. In ConTeXt, this
could be made better with

rich\footnotemark[one] text\footnotemark[two] with\footnotemark[three]

and then

\footnotetext[one]{text for one}

etc.

Let's see what Hans Hagen thinks of it ...
