Hi Michael,
and thanks for this. (Unfortunately, I could no longer follow the
discussion, because life & time, but I'd really like to catch up.)
This looks quite interesting. Things I'd probably change would be:
highlighting the region instead of the character at point, jumping to
previous/next note, a list of notes, and an overlay showing the text of
the note even without hovering on it. Of course, this would be a major
effort, but I like your PoC.
I'd really like to work on it, but realistically, I won't be able for at
least several months:-(...
Best,
