5.) In LaTeX, there's a means to place a footnote (and generate a number

down. Is it possible to do this in ConTeXt?
Does \footnote[-]{An unnumbered note} do what you want?
Not quite, as it doesn't generate a number I can reference. What I'm
thinking of is something that does what \nomarkfootnote does in the
following example:
A sentence\footnote{With a note\note[footB].}.\nomarkfootnote[footB]{And
another.}
should create the same output as nesting the footnotes:
A sentence\footnote{With a note\footnote[footB]{And another.}.}.
That is, \nomarkfootnote[ref] produces the same footnote as \footnote[ref],
complete with an automatically-generated number that can be recalled with
\note[ref] or the like. The only difference is that, like \footnote[-], it
doesn't put anything in the running text.
What this is useful for is for placing footnotes "in" things where one
normally can't place footnotes, by only putting the \note part there, and
the \nomarkfootnote in a convenient piece of nearby text. This would
provide a way of solving the footnotes-in-footnotes-in...in-footnotes
problem, and also might be useful in some cases with figures and tables and
other floats.
