Why can't ARs have annotations? Everything should be able to have annotations!

I would like it to be easier to find the edits notes for a particular
fact in the database, but I wouldn't like that mix. I think we should
try to differentiate between text directed at someone who just uses
the database to look up something and text directed to those who are
editing the database (or want to check the sources). If a music player
has a box where it shows "fun facts" about the work that is playing
right now that could include a note about how this references another
song, but you wouldn't want edit comments with sources in that box.
