Although this bug does not affect the examples provided with this repository, I have found in implementing this code in other work that floating a div above the footnote-bar will, in fact, mess up the position of the first footnote so that it is errantly positioned lower than it should be by exactly the number of pixels of the problematic element's height. I cannot locate the exact cause of this bug yet, but it is super-duper annoying.

If a footnote is placed within the final sentence in an article, and if the text of that note is longer than one line within the .footnote-bar, then the current script results in a formatting whereby the .footnote-bar is extended lower than the article (and this the content we're concerned with). It looks bad, too.

Needed: a new calculation thrown into the mix that finds the bottom position of the main-text container, translates it into .footnote-bar's equivalent, and then sets a limit on how low footnotes can extend. Since we can already get a footnote's bottom using both bottom() and offBottom() methods, is should not be much of a hassle to throw this extra consideration into the mix.
