Current "doc" tree cvsupped daily.

>Description:

In the PDF, html and perhaps any else format footnotes
at the end of "SGML Primer" chapter start at numer two.

Number one is ommited.

>How-To-Repeat:

Typeset the fdp-primer.

>Fix:

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>
