No fix this time, sorry.
I have found the code responsible for the first missing footnote.
I don't know why it goes as a Note "a." into HTML output,
or even the whole table is missing from PDF output.
I guess that it is not so easy (but SGML, DSSSL, whavetever permits this)
to add a footnote from inside of the table.

First footnote:
<row>
<entry>5</entry>
<entry>A one letter code indicating the nature of the
message. <literal>I</literal> indicates an informational
message, <literal>W</literal> is for warnings, and
<literal>E</literal> is for errors<footnote>
<para>It is not always the fifth column either.
<command>nsgmls -sv</command> displays
<literal>nsgmls:I: SP version "1.3"</literal>
(depending on the installed version). As you can see,
this is an informational message.</para>
</footnote>, and <literal>X</literal> is for
cross-references. As you can see, these messages are
errors.</entry>
