I accidentally discovered how to use this feature and disable footnote
marks the other day. \footnotemark and \footnotetext do not increment
the footnote counter (This is in the LaTeX book) so what you do is
make the counter{footnote}{0}. When the footnote counter equals zero
no footnote symbol is produced. Note that this counter is
initialized to zero.

PS I only found this out whilst trying to accomodate some arcane
style. (non-style).
