* Can the footnote rule be placed on the right-hand side?
This is possible via setting the <code>rule</code> key of {{cmd|setupnote}} and {{cmd|definenote}}. In right-to-left documents it is usually desirable to have right-to-left footnotes, where right-aligned footnote rules make more sense aesthetically. Set <code>rule=right</code> to achieve this. Prior to 01-04-2016 Beta, this would have turned off the footnote rule completely: one needed to use <code>rule={on,right}</code>.
In a BiDi document the direction of the surrounding text where the {{cmd|footnote}} is invoked determines the direction of the footnote block to come later. Therefore, some footnotes may be right-to-left whereas others can be left-to-right. Note that the text of the footnote does not play a role here. The style designer decides whether left or right footnote rules make more sense. However, there is a third option: setting <code>rule=paragraph</code> looks at the first paragraph in the footnote block and let that determine the position of the footnote rule. In other words, if the footnote block of the page starts with an RTL text we end up with a right-aligned footnote rule and a left-aligned rule is typeset otherwise. (The first line/paragraph of the footnote block on a page need not correspond to the start of a footnote; it can rather be the leftover from a long footnote that started on some previous page.)
For more fancy footnote rules, you can use <code>rulecommand=\MyRuleCommand</code>. Look at the definition of <code>\normalnoterule</code> in for a starting point.
