Maybe a hover-over-the-footnote-to-read-its-contents feature?

I've been very pleased with it on gwern.net; might be a little tricky on LW because it relies on the footnotes all having a particular name which the Javascript can then blindly load a related footnote in the popup, or whatever, and LWers seem to use various tools to generate footnoted-HTML (when they do at all).
