But other than that, it should be quite simple and semi-automatic; each frame a "drawing list" is constructed according to the feet Y, and the characters whose feet are higher on the screen are drawn first.

Absolutely. Good point
Can't you also adjust the bob handle in Blitz 2? I'm sure you can set it bottom/left. Means you can do away with the offset for character height.
EDIT: Yes you can. A quick flick throough the manual throws up 'Handle Shape #,x,y'
Of course, if you want to be really showy, then have the Y movements a bit bigger at the bottom of the play area, and give your perspective a bit of a 3D feel
