--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
This sure smell like feature creep. 

Though I would be curious if, like SB, the comments follow changes LTR <--> RTL
locale (meaning the Commenting UI could more simply be selectively moved to
Left or Right by user preference). Just toggling LTR / RTL for a document does
not shift the comments.

How does László's current work on Tracked changes in margin position things,
seems the default now to placement in left margin? Do they follow LTR / RTL by
locale? And could they be selectively toggled to show left or right edge of
canvas?

The Tracked changes and Comments have different code path, currently they seem
to coexist--Track Chagnes on left, Comments on right--should they be aware of
each other if we are going to support moving Comments?

Any case, a lot of extra dev effort required. And would that effort be better
spent to implement feature to use pop-ups, as bug 101714. Or maybe to finish
track change in the SB, and to include a Comments content panel.
