@Chris - I understand what an "aside" is, I just know for a fact that
most people do not. Shannon's suggestion of "note" makes much more sense
to me than my suggestion of "callout".
Long live <note/>!

<note> and <callout> aren't really generic enough. e.g. in HTML5 <aside>
would be used for both the notes and the examples in the spec, but <note>
would only sound like it was ok for the notes.
