Hi,

Doesn't the demarcation in the text itself provide that context 
inherently?   Anyone reading the text would assume that the brackets mean 
there is editor inserted comment.

Regards,

Brian

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>
