Yes, this is how it works in XEP now. We consider table 
cells in a row to be "parallel" content, and don't establish 
any order on them. I realize that this is a counterintuitive 
behaviour; but it is really hard to impose an order. 
(A simple example: what if the first cell is long enough 
to go to the next page? You get note 1 on the next page, 
after note 2; and there is nothing you can do about it - 
until there is some sort of automatic footnote numbering).

We will see if the things can be improved for the next version; 
however, I cannot promise an easy resolution or workaround.
Sorry for that.

The list limitation is 40 000 character for the entire message;
small attachments should pass through.
