I'm not sure this is universally so even in the present Laws.  I seem
to recall that a number of years ago, in a discussion on BLML about
something, I referred to "footnote 22" or something; and some other
BLMLer (perhaps David Stevenson) had no idea what I was talking about,
since the version of the Laws they were using didn't have numbered
footnotes, but instead had the footnotes right below the Law that
referred to them, like the PDF of the new Laws on ecatsbridge.com
does.
