[plt-scheme] Annotating Documentation

Thanks for bringing this up again. We're totally with you -- in 
principle.

I tried to check out the site at the time, but of course I used Safari. 
A lot of us (not all by any means) are Mac users. We do use other 
browsers but none of them feel as well-integrated as Safari.

What I don't understand is why this has idea has anything to do with a 
browser.

Perhaps we can find an alternative solution, and hopefully soon. --
