linenotes are just notes so no fundamental difference apart from tricky 
referencing

paragraph nodes are somewhat complex because we need to fake vertical 
height while adding horizontal content

the possibilities and limitations are mostly related to limitations in 
tex itself

of course i'll do my best to bypass/correct problems when possible using 
lua magic
