Accessible footnotes with HTML and CSS

Having recently set out on the long journey of mastering a new CMS I’ve found myself searching for and stumbling upon1 all manner of plugins, customizations and tweaks for WordPress.
The latest clever addition I found is the use of footnotes. When used properly, footnotes are an appropriate way of commenting on or referencing a portion of text2.
Footnotes serve as a more graceful way to add an aside compared to the long-winded parenthetical. (For instance, here I could give some personal insight into the guilty pleasure of using lengthy digressions, but as you can see, by the time you reach the end of this amusing passage, the original point is confused with a new idea).
