aloha, david!
actually, i'd argue that the problem is that the concept "note" is
insufficient for all use cases:
1. there should be a means to distinguish between explanatory notes
and referential notes;
2. there needs to be a means to convey within semantically demarcated
quoted text, that a string of text added to contextualize the quote
is not part of the original quote, but disambiguation text:
<q>He [Robert E. Lee] was hamstrung by his [J.E.B. Stuart's] absence
from the battlefield for the first two days of fighting, depriving
him [Lee] of the up-to-date intelligence the calvary ordinarily
provided.</q>
