The spec needs to clarify the relation between marginalia and footnotes. In particular, we need to decide whether the marginalia areas can collapse if there's no marginalia. Do we want such a dynamic behavior? There is a note in the requirement document about marginalia and footnotes but it seems to be mainly related to numbering issues.
WG decided not to offer dynamic marginalia regions. Use side-floats instead.
