Its hard for me to tell if the pressure is real or imagined. There _was_
pressure two years ago (around Jan 2002) but the people involved aren't
currently active on the mailing list. The idea behind level 3 annotations
_was_ to allow snipping out a (large) bit of the sprinkled code for
annotations. Its not a problem for me. If its not a problem for anyone else,
then it might as well stay (although that does beg the question as to why
it needs to be removed at all).
