Off the top of my head, would it be possible to put something together using
javascript, like this:
* 2 frames
* top frame holds the site being viewed
* bottom frame holds a form, served from your server, where you can write
notes
* javascript is used to load the url of the top form into a hidden variable
in the bottom form everytime the top frame is changed
* bottom form has a submit button that allows you to save your note, along
with the url that it relates to
* setup another couple of pages on your server to review your notes, go back
to the original link, etc.
I suppose something like this could also be done with a "floating" window
that holds the notes (which would also be a workaround for sites that would
kick their site to the top level window, thus nixing your dual frame setup.
I haven't really thought this out, but off the top of my head it seems
do-able.

IE4 saves history in a semi-heirarchical form:
Day
top level domain
pages visited
top level domain
pages visited
Day
top level domain
pages visited
top level domain
pages visited
etc..
There are no options for melding multiple days into one "view of where I've
been at the site".

You can do this with bookmarks, but I haven't heard of it being done with
history. Seems like a natural.

Perhaps something like that could be created using the javascript scenario I
mentioned above? The change would be to read more of the top framed doc
content into a variable that could be passed to an engine. Sketchy, but an
idea.
I could see some perl ways to do this using a list of sites that you've
bookmarked, or marked off in a list.
