"annotations") to files, which (a) didn't use overlays that display in the text area, but instead displayed the notes in the margin and/or in tooltips; and (b) would save the notes of FILE into a FILE.notes file, not into a single DB under the user's home directory. I think it would be a very useful feature that every text-processing package should have built-in.
