Actually, I was thinking that the annotation could be useful for pointing
out causal relationships on real simulation output so the viewer can be
made to chase signals based on their causal relationships.  You could use
an STG of a circuit or a handshake channel as the input format to such
an annotator.  As for drawing spec. diagrams, well, that wasn't 
specifically what I had in mind.  Neither really was hand annotation.
