16      - Fluid annotations can be rendered through a DOM: That is,
17        it suffices to modify the page's DOM and re-render, you don't
18        have to turn the browser's rendering engine inside out to support
19        lines cross-cutting the view hierarchy. This is why buoys would be
20        harder to adopt into an existing program. The fluid stuff supports
21        animation by modifying the DOM also (it simply grows a box).

26    - Free form 'digital ink' annotation [e.g. XLibris, iMarkup?] is currently
27      the closest thing to cross-cutting connections (because that's what
28      users do with them, at least sometimes)
29    
30      - Point to make: This form of annotation is nothing new...
31        Maybe start with 'old fashioned ink annotation' and then introduce
32        forms of representing linking in computers?
33    - Nelson's transpointing windows [1979] are not about showing a set of links,
34      but also represent connections crosscutting the view hierarchy.

38      - Southhampton transpointing windows demo
39      - Nile
40      - Cosmicbook?  (Has anybody tried this?)
41      - To some degree, Pyxi (which didn't solve the problem with the
42        existing view systems, but tricked its way around it)
