I’ve been using this for a while, and this is the only place where I keep feeling there is room for improvement.
The syntax allows for specifying footnotes either with an id, or with a number:
Here is a footnote reference,[^1] and another.[^longnote]
[^1]: Here is the footnote.
[^longnote]: Here's one with multiple blocks.
However, when markdown is generated, links to footnotes still look like #fn1. This has the usual ordered reference problem: if more footnotes are added above a given footnote, its link changes. If it didn't work that way, using ids could have been a nice way to ensure that Cool URIs don’t change. I understand this may not always be desirable, but it could be a sensible default with an option to override it if the current behavior is desired.

Can you show a markdown example where that link changes?
I think I may not have explained this clearly enough. I was referring to the link changing as the content is edited (e.g. adding a paragraph with a footnote above another paragraph with a footnote). This is not something that can be "shown" as an example.
Just want to add a belated +1 to this issue, as I just noticed that my footnote ids were getting rewritten by the plugin. If it’d be possible to preserve the ids as written, that’d be remarkable.
Thanks for making this wonderful plugin!
