On the other hand, putting a space between punctuation and the number or the word and the number means the number/word combination no longer shows up as an error in k1000 rank spelling.

I have not looked it up so this is just 30 years experience and what I have learned from your questions, guesses, and answers but you cannot put the footnotes at the end of the line or sentence unless they refer to the whole line or sentence. You should not leave a space because it is then unclear what that "lone, lorn" number is doing there. Evan, the one Braille reader I know, says the number does not interfere with his screen reader but even Evan is only one person. Perhaps the question could be asked at least of all braille-reader users. Until then I would leave the number without a space next to the word to which it applies. If sighted College freshman composition students can figure it out I would lay odds that blind high-school freshman who have had to compensate for works not consider by their sighted friends can do so a lot quicker. All my blind friends did.
