I loved the angle bracket solution for probable information and used it in a variety of fields until I saw that, with GEDCOMs posted at RootsWeb, text within the brackets disappears. That could be good, bad, or of no concern, depending on your circumstances. I don’t know what other consequences might be involved with the use of angle brackets, but it’s a good idea to test any solution you decide to use to see what the effect will be in the reports or sites you use most.
