Hi all,
I use the following to add short comments:
<assign|comment|
<macro|body|thecomment|
<surround||<flag|comment|green>|
<with|visited-color|<value|color>|locus-color|<value|color>|
<mouse-over-balloon|
<arg|body>|<arg|thecomment>|left|Bottom>>>>>
Mouse-over-balloon changes the color of the body text to indicate a
link, hence I'm resetting the visited-color to the default text color.
I'm also inserting a flag to show that there is a comment, otherwise
you only see it on mouse-over.
Best,
Jeroen

There is a disadvantage of this implement: when I set draft-mode to
