Neat, but not very keyboard-friendly and a bit fickle for long footnotes.
I kinda like to think of footnotes as parallel text and use them that way myself, but I haven't yet seen a decent way to implement this. Platypope (link to random article to demonstrate it) embeds them into the sidebar, which kinda works, but again has length constraints.
Oh man, I need to figure out how Platypope is doing that so I can steal the code. (Mouseover notes serve a comparable purpose.)
It's no less friendly than it was without that JS; it's 'progressive enhancement' which builds on the existing textual hyperlinks, which means it ought to render fine (like before) in text browsers (like ELinks, which I use from time to time).
Mm, not fond of using that much horizontal space. Wouldn't work on LW because we are already using that sidebar for a ton of stuff. Might be able to fit it on the left though.
