4) If there is a macro in the footnote text, which generates @address@hidden 
html 
code, then the footnote shows some spurious line breaks and the <p>..</p> 
will be inserted only around the second line of the footnote. 

Attached is a minimal sample file, no .init file required. The relevant 
texinfo code is:

@macro q{TEXT}
@html
&lsquo;\TEXT\&rsquo;
@end html
@end macro

@c The footnote in this paragraph shows the linebreak like in the .texi file
@c which is clearly wrong. There is no linebreak in texinfo!
contexte de Voix @address@hidden context} en
anglais, ...}, alors ...


This creates wrong HTML code that looks like:

<h3>Footnotes</h3>
<h3><a name="FOOT1" href="#DOCF1">(1)</a></h3>
&lsquo;Voice context&rsquo; en
<p>anglais, ...
</p>

As you can see, the <p> is NOT inserted before the &lsquo;, but at the 
position where the line break in the .texi file appears.

A real-life example of this problem can be seen in the French translation of 
lilypond's documentation:
