Thanks a lot for the pointers to the bits that need to undergo a change!

The trickier part might not be too tricky, because these publications
that use a mix of footnotes and crossreferences, usually lay them out on
the page in the order it occurs, e.g.:
1) Footnote1
2) Footnote2
a) Xref1
3) Footnote3
b) Xref2
