Basically, I am asking only that you don't build into such code the notion that we are only dealing with text- let it be something a bit more abstract, so that we are not limited in the future to strictly textual commentary.

This is something we talked about a lot at Interval. The idea was to
use the web browser as the text view for viewing/editing code, and
being able to have embedded objects and links that do stuff like
cross-referencing, or are pointers to more complete documentation.

Later,
