   I have a similar view, although I have some refinements:

| <p annotation="my-footnote">
|   This paragraph has a footnote
|   <a rel="annotation" href="#my-footnote"><sup>[1]</sup></a>.
| </p>
| [...]
| <footnote>
|   <p>References:</p>
|   <al>
|     <ol>
|       <li id="my-footnote">
|         <p>This footnote can contain block-level elements!</p>
|       </li>
|     </ol>
|   </al>
| </footnote>

I think having an annotation attribute in the paragraph is redundant with the <a rel="annotation"> element. What happens if the attribute is there and there is no link? What if the link is there with no annotation attribute? I think the attribute is completely unnecessary.

Also, you're mixing two different terms (footnote and annotations), I don't think that's a so good idea. And you're forcing your annotations to be part of a list, which makes difficult to put them in the middle of the text to style them as sidenotes.
