Hm. Page limits are decided by TeX, so this would have to be a mixed
solution. Maybe define some new flow object, that JadeTeX could turn
into the number you want. Never got to do such things, it may require
patching openjade as well. Probably Ian Castle could confirm.

That's the one I thought about. I'm no TeXpert enough to directly
tell whether it's doable, however.

No, there's a (make page-footnote) in dbblock.dsl. I guess the
hardcoded stuff is page-footnote => \PageFootnote.
