Sebastian,

Well, I should probably get off the thread since the context is (still) a hypothetical one.

But ... earlier I offered the example of a reading version and a false color proof version side-by-side. In a Humanities context, a similar thing would be a clean reading version next to a "barbed wire" version showing where all the editorial emendations, or variora, were in a text. You do want to switch transparently between them and not lose your place.

Maybe what I'm learning is that it's too rare a requirement to suppose there'd be much of a push for a standard way to do it. OTOH, it's through the introduction of nifty new features that no one thinks they actually need or want, that an entirely new set of applications is discovered. ("But why would I want to bother with formatting my gopher page?")

Cheers,
Wendell

it's hardly something you do that often, is it? sorry, I probably
don't get your context.
