Hey, this looks quite neat.  Downside is that it requires a  specific 
browser.  But that's sort of the general idea.

Ideally (and this is a JavaScript/HTML DOM thing I expect)  I would like 
to be able to associate comments with specific paragraphs.  So that, for 
example, if there were an online Ruby manual, one could click on a 
paragraph, get a pop-up thingy, and add a note or correction for that 
paragraph.  And the HTML would be dynamically modified when rendered to 
indicate were there were comments.
