Well, try this with 

bla \footnote{How do you say \TeX\footnote{in \TeX\ this is
keyed in as \type {\TeX, or \TeX\ or \TeX{}}}}

\def\xfootnote#1{\footnote{#1}}

bla \xfootnote{How do you say \TeX\xfootnote{in \TeX\ this is
keyed in as \type {\TeX, or \TeX\ or \TeX{}}}}

\end

and you will see why it fails. The footnote commands are rather complicated
because they need to take care of this and worse, formatting on the fly,
like double coolumn footnotes).
