 - Fluid links [#zellweger98fluid]_ can be put in by the original author,

+  - Fluid annotations can be rendered through a DOM: That is,
+    it suffices to modify the page's DOM and re-render, you don't
+    have to turn the browser's rendering engine inside out to support
+    lines cross-cutting the view hierarchy. This is why buoys would be
+    harder to adopt into an existing program. The fluid stuff supports
+    animation by modifying the DOM also (it simply grows a box).

 - In XLibris [XXX ht'02: going back in hypertext], recently visited
   pages are shown as thumbnails at the bottom of the window
+- Free form 'digital ink' annotation [e.g. XLibris, iMarkup?] is currently
+  the closest thing to cross-cutting connections (because that's what
+  users do with them, at least sometimes)
+
+  - Point to make: This form of annotation is nothing new...
+    Maybe start with 'old fashioned ink annotation' and then introduce
+    forms of representing linking in computers?
+- Nelson's transpointing windows [1979] are not about showing a set of links,
+  but also represent connections crosscutting the view hierarchy.
+  
+  Known implementations to date:

+  - Southhampton transpointing windows demo
+  - Nile
+  - Cosmicbook?  (Has anybody tried this?)
+  - To some degree, Pyxi (which didn't solve the problem with the
+    existing view systems, but tricked its way around it)
