Making use of aside and epub:type to enable pop-up or inline footnotes is part of the advantages of the ePub3 format and probably one of the reasons why users would like to upgrade.

That's why, even if it is a rare occurrence, if the acknowledged semantic tag "footnote" is present in the opf, I fail to see why it would be best to call for a distinct plugin for upgrading also the footnotes to the ePub3 standard. It would be a puzzling, artificial and easily avoidable complexity.

As you said above, an if... then... condition "could only be added" to the plugin code to deal with the footnotes when a semantic tag is present.
