I found a solution to this problem, working in a completely different direction. Fortunately, I already created XHTML from XML with XSLT transformation. I wrote another conversion file that went (believe it or not) XeLaTeX; I wrote a Python script to apply the conversion, and then called it from a Bash build script (which had to use the tail to crack the first line, which is an XML declaration illegal in XeLaTeX), and then does two compilation passes to create the final PDF document with the correct broken to page footnotes
