Given the below docbook segments:
<article>
<articleinfo>
<title> This is the title
<footnote id="myfootnote">
<para>
This is a footnote.
</para>
</footnote>
</title>
...
</articleinfo>
...
</article>

The footnote shows as text as part of the title and not as a footnote.
Footnotes in the body proper are handled okay.

Hi Benoît,

I want to inform you about dblatex Debian BTS report #567051 [1]:

footnotes included in an article title don't get rendered as footnotes,
but are treated like plain title text, which effectively garbles the
title.

Although I have never thought of using footnotes in the topmost title of
a document — well, DocBook allows it, and the HTML stylesheets treat
footnotes in an article title just like all other footnotes.
