This statement within the template matching "A[@class='footnote']" --

could be specialized to apply to just the TableFootnote node you require:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*/TableFootnote[A/@ID=$fid]" mode="body"/>
from its current context by calling out to the top of the input XML using
the "//" path expression, but at some runtime expense. You want to avoid
this by making up a key table of TableFootnote elements (at top level of
stylesheet) --

It is, but there is often difficulty knowing what keywords are appropriate
to a particular problem. This problem, as are so many of XSL, is a grouping
problem.
Actually, I'd have called it an "ungrouping" problem (which you won't
find in the archives :-) -- and note that this is a classic use case
for keys, which we commonly use for grouping since we do that so
often ... but once in a while we have to break the group up and send
its members back home.
Cheers,
