Bump.
I have no previous experience with callouts, other than looking at how
they're used in "DocBook:TDG." My chief concern with callouts would be
the impaired-reader issue. How, if at all, do callouts affect readers
who, for instance, are visually impaired and use audible reader
software? I would think that if there is a way to avoid callouts that
does not make the document overly cumbesome, it would be wise to do so.
Can you post your sources somewhere, and post a link to the list?
Perhaps then people could suggest an alternative method. If none can be
found, then we should develop a standard.
I tried finding previous content in f-docs-l, but the mailing list
archives are exceedingly unfriendly to searching. I searched "callout,"
any match on substring in any section, and *nothing* was returned. At
the very least, both of Thomas' messages should have been returned.
Maddening, I tell you!
