It is probably impossible to adapt the existing macro packages to do this.  But 
that 
isn't so much of a problem, since an edition doesn't need the keeps and floats 
provided by the macro packages, and you can make do with your own macros for 
footnotes and paragraphs.  I did this some time ago and posted my mini-macro 
package to this list; Werner kindly reposted it with many egregious errors 
corrected and some nifty stuff to get the spacing between the notes correct.  
You 
could probably find it if you searched this list on google, or send me an email 
and 
I'll email you back a copy.

Robert.
