Looks like youve defined your footnote within a marker. What is the expected behaviour here? Are you expecting a footnote on the page where the static content retrieves the marker, or are you expecting the footnote to appear on the page where it is defined in the marker?

It is actually illegal to define a footnote within a marker.
Thanks for clarifying Peter.
From the 1.1 Draft.
6.12.3 fo:footnote
Constraints
...
It is an error if the fo:footnote occurs as a descendant of a flow that is not assigned to a region-body, or of an fo:block-container that generates absolutely positioned areas. In either case, the block-areas generated by the fo:footnote-body child of the fo:footnote shall be returned to the parent of the fo:footnote and placed in the area tree as though they were normal block-level areas.
Chris,
I should have added the following from the Rec on fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker.
"6.13.5 fo:marker
...
An fo:marker may contain any formatting objects that are permitted as a replacement of any fo:retrieve-marker or fo:retrieve-table-marker that retrieves the fo:marker's children."
and
"6.13.6 fo:retrieve-marker ... Constraints:
An fo:retrieve-marker is only permitted as the descendant of an fo:static-content.
The fo:retrieve-marker specifies that the children of a selected fo:marker shall be formatted as though they replaced the fo:retrieve-marker in the formatting tree."
The implication to me of the combination is that the contents of fo:marker are under the same constraints as the fo:retrieve-marker; that they are not, in formatting terms, descendants of an fo:flow, but of an fo:static-content, destined for a region other than fo:region-body.
In other words, the fo:marker ancestor of the fo:footnote is "not assigned to a region-body."
