This prompts the question,
Do we need to retain the parentheses that wrap the cross-references, once they have been properly marked?
IMHO, these parentheses should be removed.
I have just made and tested a bespoke TextPipe filter to mark the 2534 cross-references.
It was designed to avoid changes to parenthesised items other than an xref. There are 214 such items.
It will also fix a further type of malformed xref. See #2
It would be useful to mark all the cross-references in the text using the proper USFM tags

Then they would be amenable to being converted to links in Bible software.
Refer to the USFM User Reference for details.
