When you have the time, could you unpack the comments above further? Are your 
feelings regarding annotations vs. note-taking based solely on the prototype or 
do you have supporting research? if you have research, would you mind sharing? 
Am I correct to assume that you believe annotations and long form note taking 
could and should live side-by-side within Matterhorn?  

Thanks in advance,
