We have several multicolumn mechanisms an cnotes themselves can also come in columns and it's nto easy to have a setup that suits them all, so each mechanism has additional settings. I'm still not sure how to deal with this because there are conflicting demands. So, one ends up in 'fix this setup' 'break that setup' situations (basically it means that we need to setup things on an extra axis: the kind of otr used). It's a bit the price we pay for configurability.

Would it be viable to use columnset areas for footnotes? Then the user could configure themselves where they should go, how many columns they should span etc.
