Hi,

yes it seems weird to me, since even wikipedia is using the <sup> tag for wrapping their links to the footnotes. I believe this will also solve some problems with the IE - but maybe I am just plain wrong :)

So are there problems with using <sup>?

It was a design decision that I only have used tags that are allowed in a default configuration of Drupal's HTML filter. sup is not one of those tags - I don't know why, it's harmless really so could safely be allowed. So instead I use span and CSS to do what sup does for you in normal cases.

If you want to use sup just replace the span tags in footnotes.module in you own module. And add sup to allowed tags in html filter.

As long as sup is not supported by default configuration of html filter, I will not use it in official footnotes though.
