Just a followup. I updated xltxtra from CTAN and installed it. Now it
was worse! Now both footnote markers (inline and at the bottom) were
normal and not superscript.

As an experiment, I tried both Hoefler Text and plain Palatino. Both
formatted as expected with superscripts. So the issue is with Palatino
Linotype. (I wonder if it could be made to work. But I don't know that
much about the internals of fonts...yet.) Moving on to using another
font....

Thanks again for your help.
