This seems kind of non-portable?

Adding arrows, callouts, etc. to the screenshot bitmaps with a vector based 
drawing system would make it easy to update the screen shots when all that's 
changed is the end position of the arrows.  You would have:

  .../ekr-20100821182153-4353.png  # unedited screenshot
  .../ekr-20100821182153-4353.svg  # SVG which links draws arrows etc. on above
  .../ekr-20100821182153-4353v.png # rendered form of the above(*,**)

But these are probably changes someone could demonstrate (under VCS of course) 
once your system's released into the wild.

(*) rendering can be automatic, with the author quickly looking over the 
rendered output to find cases where the underlying screenshot bitmap has 
changed, and arrows etc. need adjusting.

(**) modern browsers can render the SVG directly of course, but we'll probably 
need to provide rendered versions for 9-10 years until IE catches up ;-)
