Dear Cabinet,

A couple of footnote questions:

1. Is there an option for choosing one's own reference mark for any
given footnote, like in Plain?

2. Is there a conversion option for the famous nine reference mark
sequence (\fnsymbol in LaTeX):

star, dagger, double dagger, section, inverted `P', parallel,
star-star, dagger-dagger, double dagger-double dagger
?

I did not see it in the manual.
\starttext

\setupfootnotes
  [conversion=HowAboutIt]

\defineconversion
  [HowAboutIt]
  [One,Two,Three]

test \footnote{test}
test \footnote{test}
test \footnote{test}

\stoptext

any conversion can be used (see core-con.tex end of file for examples)

3. Is there a way to control the distance between the footnote rule and
the firstline of the footnote?
\def\MyRule
  {\blackrule[width=3cm,height=1mm]
   \vskip.5cm}

\setupfootnotes
  [rule=\MyRule,
   conversion=HowAboutIt]

4. ConTeXt places the footnote reference mark just on the outside of the
margin. Can I place it inside? Can I indent the first paragraph of the
footnote with the reference mark (like in LaTeX)?
it's a description, so any of those settings apply

\setupfootnotedefinition
[location=left,
width=2cm]

[some time ago i sent you a some definable footnote macros, a sort of prelude to your critical edition project]

Unrelated:

Canw I make an entire document default to oldstyle numbers? (Probably
not, since Knuth mapped these glyphs in a strange way).
you can, but you should construct a virtual font for that
