I think Dekel is talking about footnotes in tables _outside_ floats 
here. We have discussed this some days ago. LaTeX inserts a footnote 
number but no footnote in this case, but with two lines in the 
preamble, the footnote text appears at the bottom of the page. 
You're right: Floats and Footnotes together make no sense, but why not 
having a footnote in a fixed table?
