Please forgive me if this shows I've missed what you're saying.. OpenCongress.org not too long ago starting letting us comment on lines of active bills.. Bringing you in on one I've favorited, H.R.738 Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2009: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h738/text If you page down a little, you come to the text where each line the cursor is over presents a comment op along with a link to that specific line of the bill.. I'm on a *very* old system along with the Opera browser and have no problem with this working on my end.. Yes, I realize this isn't PHP.. Sure wish it was with this being my very first post, grin.. Just figured, was hoping it gave one working example that my Mind is grasping you are describing *at least in part*.. Peace and best wishes from North Georgia..
