Yes - these are the most important questions - what's your end point?
Do you normally use a "plain text" writing system like rst or markdown
or LaTeX?  I guess I was assuming you would be.  Depending on the
answers to those questions...

My thought was to use #provenance, #derivation, /piers-1967 etc. in the
para. text itself (with or without []), because this avoid the whole
complexity of whether you want to edit [2] that was in position 2
before the note you just inserted, or the note that's in position 2 now
you've added [2] etc.

So the final output would use [1], [2], [A], [B] etc., but the editing
would use a slightly more symbolic name.
