Sadly, the background doesn't much allow for it, although I suppose that
FASA did as well as they could with the "marginalia" in some of the
sourcebooks. I agree, though, that the annotation idea is fantastic! As far
as I'm concerned, that sets the Shadowrun sourcebooks head and shoulders
above equivalent material for any other game.

Having read "Dunkelzahn's Secrets," though, I am both pleased and
disappointed by the new annotation format. Much cleaner and easier to
read, but I would have been much happier if they had kept the time/date
stamps.
