Storing user notes externally:
User notes could also be stored externally so that they are not part of the XML definition itself. When the XML document is displayed the XML document and its external user notes are fetched and presented. For example an external user note could be stored as an XML object with XPointer identifier:

<object xpointer="http://yourServer.org/your_ramones_text.xml#xpointer(id('page1')/TEI[1]/text[1]/body[1]/chap[1]/p[1]/s[1])">
