Hi, in XSL-FO REC2 Working Draft, I see no change regarding footnotes (see [1]). AFAIK, there is no plan to implement such extension in FOP, but since it is open source, everybody can contribute and submit a patch (see [2]) to add such extension.
That said, there is probably an alternative: modifying directly the intermediate format (see [3]).
