I think :float margin works well here, too. Tufte has 3 table widths corresponding to the width of the text block, text column, and margin.

It seems appropriate to me, given the existing functionality of Org mode and the fact that a marginnote is not a standard LaTeX construct. Though, I'd happily use something like [mn:N] if it were available. All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
