Hypertext doesn't seem as much a free expanse when you have to start designing a usable page of it; then it becomes dissapointingly reminiscient of paper. :-)

Not, of course, that our inability to conceive of how to make it useful should necessarily exclude a feature like this, but does anyone have a suggestion on how to make nested annotations/citations easily readable and usable, and solve the issue of how to number them?
