Yes, I'll open an issue. Besides, I've just went through the documentation, and it says:

> In print, footnotes are traditionally displayed at the bottom of a printed page or in a list at the end of the article (<fn-group>); each footnote reference is marked by a number or symbol, and the text of the footnote is prefixed by the same number or symbol to help the reader associate the text with its reference(s). On screen, footnotes may appear as clickable icons, in a separate pop-up window, in a list with links at the end of an article (<fn-group>), or in a separate footnote area.

So, I guess we need to have some flexibility here. Users will perhaps need numbers, symbols or even empty labels depending on purpose and output format.

Yes, <milestone-start/>...<milestone-stop/> is a bit odd although still valid, at least in the archiving tag set. I'm not sure why <target> should be used here. Can you elaborate? Regarding the other two suggestions:
My suggestion would be to go for <named-content>. If I understand correctly, the difference between <named-content> and <styled-content> is rather subtle, but <named-content> deals more with semantics while <styled-content> is more concerned with presentational details.
