Ah, the trick margin rules. Maybe you should use text annotations
(\startcomment text \stopcomment in interactive mode}. You can color
them, and they automatically stack in the margin of the next paragraph.
See 1998-001.pdf .

\def\setupmarginrules%
  {\dodoubleargument\getparameters[\??ka]}

\definecomplexorsimple\startmarginrule

\def\simplestartmarginrule%
  {\bgroup
   \let\drawmarginrule=\relax
   \let\stopmarginrule=\dostopmarginrule
   \beginofshapebox}

\def\complexstartmarginrule[#1]%
  {\bgroup
   \let\drawmarginrule=\relax
   \ifnum#1<\@@kaniveau\relax
     \let\stopmarginrule=\egroup
   \else
     \def\@@kadefaultwidth{#1}%
     \let\stopmarginrule=\dostopmarginrule
     \expandafter\beginofshapebox
   \fi}

\def\dostopmarginrule%
  {\endofshapebox
   \reshapebox
     {\hbox{\inlinkermarge{\dodrawmarginrule}\box\shapebox}}%
   \flushshapebox
   \egroup}

This comes from core-rul.tex and works with multiple paragraphs, and as
far as I can test does not generate the message when a \stop.. is
missing. 

This mechanism does not work well with e.g. opsommingen, ifonly because
tex does not offer hooks to unroll boxes etc etc savely (interfering
whatsits and so on).
