Your analysis is still quite acute David (a compliment).  I completely
understand your point.  Maybe there is a solution that could impliment both
features.  Put the links in the table to bring the user to the foot notes
at the bottom of the table in cells.  Us voice synthesizer users could then
utilize the more convenient feature.  Is it possible to embed a link back
up the page to the cell in which the foot note refers to?  This possibility
would greatly enhance the table's accessibility and navigation.
