I thought this was the case, too, but when I played around
with the example a bit, I found that the fo stylesheets do
generate a footnote, and the html stylesheets generate the
reference, but not the footnote (the reference is a pointer
to a non-existent id).
So, either way it looks like a bug. There should either be
no footnote and no reference, or there should be both.
After playing around for a while, I have a pretty simple
customization based on 1.72.0 that should do what you want.
It simply inserts a call to process.footnotes in the abstract
handling code when the abstract is directly inside the info
element of a book. This places any footnotes in the abstract
immediately after the abstract in the output.
It's not complete (the same thing will happen with abstracts
in the info section of <part> or <set>), but it does fix this
one case. Here it is:
=================================================================
<!-- Process footnotes that occur in an abstract inside a book.
Identical to the 1.72.0 template that matches "d:abstract"
with mode="titlepage.mode", except:
1) the match is just for abstracts inside a book element
2) there is a call to the template named "process.footnotes"
near the end
-->
<xsl:template match="d:book/d:info/d:abstract" mode="titlepage.mode">
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="class.attribute"/>
<xsl:call-template name="anchor"/>
<xsl:call-template name="formal.object.heading">
<xsl:with-param name="title">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="title.markup"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode"/>
<xsl:call-template name="process.footnotes"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
===================================================================
I hope this helps. If nothing else, it gave me the opportunity to
look into how footnotes are handled in the html stylesheets, which
I hadn't had a chance to do before:-).
