The browning treatment yes.... acid rinse...maybe... but after hitting the major browning with brownout I would then treat the entire piece with hatian cotton cleaner and extract.

If you could share some photos, that would be great. This can be simple to complex.
Here is an example of one I had to deal with in the past (have numerous other examples but this one shows some of what concerns one could have and what they could run into)
As it was opened up to see what was there, we found three layers of cellulose material (one being jute) and this meant it was not a normal situation.
As this shows, sometimes you need to open it up and see what you are dealing with.
Now to say the least, this was not a simple job and it required some very advanced treatments, and this required more than just
one treatment.
We were able to make the chair presentable again. This was a chair that a student brought to class and we taught how to do this
in the class, certainly not your normal items to work with but a great example of what one can run into and students learned what to
do with such a situation.
Here is the before we finished.
Here is the after we finished
Everyone was quite pleased and especially the student that brought it in as was his customer.

Your ideas are good. But as Steve points out, it is hard to know the solution until you know how serious the problem is. Look over the job, take some clear and detailed photos. Your solution may work fine or it may take much more.
