Per page footnotes can be quite easily solved using XEP intermediate format, rx:pin-point and two-pass processing. In intermediate format you will know which footnotes goes to the same page, you can store identifier of such footnote in rx:pin-point and use it to supply correct per page footnote number to the second pass that will assign appropriate footnote numbers during XSLT transformation. Not pure XSL-FO solution, but it works if you know processing environment. Using this technique you can overcome most issues that arise from separated transformation and formatting phases in XSL.
