--- Comment #3 from Stian Øby Johansen <[email protected]> ---
This also greatly affects the usefulness of reference management tools, such as
the popular Zotero. These tools have LibreOffice extensions that enable quick
insertion and auto-generation of footnote text with the use of field codes.
Before sending a scientific article to a publisher or a journal the writer will
normally need to remove said field codes. 

Reference styles often mandate the use of italics or other types of styling to
references, and it is therefore very impractical that these field codes cannot
be removed without also removing the formatting. Manually adding back italics
etc. can be extremely cumbersome in a longer academic article or a book
manuscript, with hundreds of footnotes.
