I can't find a reference to footnote [1] on page "6. Simple Statements" in Language Reference. Either the footnote should be removed or a [1] link to it should appear on the page.

Agreed. The footnote is "[1] It may occur within an except or else clause. The restriction on occurring in the try clause is implementor’s laziness and will eventually be lifted. "

I searched chapter for all occurences of '1' and also found no reference.
(And verified searching for '[#]' in .rst.) Nor can I think of what the footnote referred to. Unless someone else can, we should delete it.

Georg: should sphinx not noticed mismatch between # of footnote references and footnotes?

Fixed in 949a099a87ca.  The detection of unused footnotes would be a docutils thing, not a Sphinx thing.
