[Docutils-develop] bug in footnote?

[Paul T. <pau...@gm...>]

Is there a bug in the footnote element when it is rendered in XML:

The Modernize Main Street campaign created during the Depression years
represented a significant effort to revitalize the central business 
districts
of American communities [#note1]_.

<paragraph>The Modernize Main Street campaign created during the 
Depression years

districts of American
communities <footnote_reference auto="1" ids="id1" 
refid="note1">1</footnote_reference>.</paragraph>
            ^
           space

There seems to be white space entered, meaning the superscript will have 
an unwanted space before it:

American communities ^1

instead of the right way

American communities^1
