Robin has offered to make changes to footmisc, so I'm leaving xltxtra  
as it is. If you wish to use that package, it is straightforward to  
define a new set of footnote symbols based on either unicode  
characters or LICRs defined by xunicode.

I'm going to upload xltxtra to CTAN tonight. Thanks all for the  
feedback.
