I'm so-so on this. Not sure I like the idea of jumping back and forth
as well as adding my own footnotes to mingle with the "real"
footnotes. Very cool look with the box, though. I see the appeal.

Yes -- todonote doesn't seem to like this stuff much. Not pretty, but
this works:
-----
*************** Notes
\linebreak
\begin{tabular}{l|p{0.9\textwidth}}
\quad &
"Quote something with a nice line" \\
\end{tabular} \linebreak
Say something about it. \linebreak
Some more stuff.
*************** END
-----
I suppose manually entering linebreaks isn't sooo horrible... I can
get that first linebreak with this:
-----
(latex "\\todo[inline,color=blue!20]{\\textbf{\\textsf{%s
%s}}\\linebreak{} \\linebreak \\linebreak %s}"
'((unless (eq todo "")
(format "\\textsc{%s%s}" todo priority))
heading content))
-----
We'll see what I end up with. I think I'll stick with todonotes for
now. It's neat and pretty :)
