In general (conceptually), if you have one footnote in text, and one
in a footnote, with a note style, both will be rendered as footnotes.

So in an adapted version from earlier:

----
Text 1 [@cite:@a].
Text 2[fn:1].

[fn:1] This is [cite:@b].
----

Output would put both citations in respective footnotes.

I included this originally in CSL to make it possible for a user to
switch between note-based and other styles without having to modify
their documents.
