So, if i got you right (looking at the one page pdf example with 
(meaningless so it took me a while to see what is going on) critics), we're 
talking about multiple footnotes and line numbers. The multiple 
footnotes  looks doable (but i need to extend the footnote module, no big 
deal and on my list since i want note classes but more a matter of careful 
editing). The combination with line numbering may be a bit trickery (maybe 
a two pass job is needed here).

\startlinenumbering
test \linenote {oeps} test test test test test test
test \startlinenote [well] {oeps} test test test test test test
test \linenote {oeps} test test test test test test
test \linenote {oeps} test test test test test test
test \linenote {oeps} test test test test test test
test \linenote {oeps} test test test test test test
test \stoplinenote [well] test test test test test test
\stoplinenumbering

Since we modulate on footnotes, you will get formatting, column/par 
footnotes, backgrounds behind footnotes, etc for free.

hm, couldn't resist trying that one, seems doable (30 lines of code to get 
linenumbers and line ranges in footnotes) but of course you want an 
unlimited number of note types so for that i need to extend the footnote 
mechanism (and the footnote part of the otrs) as said.

It this all there is about critical editions, or is there more trickery 
needed? How configurable should this be?

PS. This could be real fancy in columnset -)
