Footnotes in tables

[Garnier Garnier]

Hello Listers,
 
I have a query:
 
I have received framemaker files that I am expected to modify. I noticed that the doc includes many tables and most of the tables have repetitive footnotes which extends to the next page. Then immediately below the footnotes a new section starts. Is this not wrong?  I think the very concept of footnotes is lost when they continue on the next page. Should not the footnotes be restricted to the foot of the page than continuing to the next page?  
 
Any ideas how it can be tackled without upsetting the customer who feel there is nothing wrong if the footnotes extend to next page or that a new section starts just below the footnotes.  Please share your ideas and help me resolve the issue. 
 
TIA
Garnier
