As it's available with text-mode, it's no important question.

Below a new footnote-init.el:  Bugs fixed which
occurred if `footnote-init' was called with buffer
without footnotes.

Have a nice day.

;;; Commentary: Provides a `footnote-init' usable as
;;; footnote-mode-hook, which reads in existing
;;; footnodes. Customize `footnote-mode-hook' with this
;;; function should do the right thing when switching
;;; footnote-mode on.
