Increased incentive to comment. The convenience of placing comments on the same frame as the material being commented on provides considerably more incentive to users than if they were forced to put their comment on another frame. This is equally true for an author's own notes, especially for quickly jotting down a stray thought while it is fresh in the mind. Later, at a more convenient time, the stray thought can be moved to a more appropriate home in the database.
