Isn't that a LaTeX limitation? Implementing it as an inset in LyX
wouldn't remove this limitation, if you insist on having it output
\begin{commwent} \end{comment} pairs.
In Note OTOH you can place whatever you want inside the inset. With my
(i.e. originally Angus' or you?) approach you can easily add new forms
of annotation (endnote?) provided you know how they work in LaTeX. And
you can easily change one form into another, e.g. if you decide to
share a "blind" note with your readers in the form of a footnote.
Should get around to getting this patch to work. I messed up the copy
constructor last time :-(
