On that page, the footnotes are all listed at the bottom of the 
document. IIRC, what I do is to make a copy of the footnote node, strip 
its @id attribute (so that it doesn't end up with the same id as the 
original), and then show it in the popup. The original footnote is still 
there to view if you want to scroll down to it. I don't think there are 
any accessibility issues with this -- a screen reader, for instance, can 
read the whole page with footnotes included, and can also read the popup 
when it appears presumably -- but I'm not an expert in accessibility.
