The trick is that not all "a" tags are footnote references. Since
we're talking about it, this is the Emacs-speak regular expression
I've used in the past if I remember correctly:

<a\([^>]*\) class="footnote"([^>]*)/>

Which is replaced by:

<footref\1\2/>

I think I've already fixed all of the XML books that had non-empty
footnote "a" tags which this expression wouldn't handle. Anyway...
