I've skimmed through the "sample-handout.pdf" of the tufte-latex=20
pkg.  marginfigure seems to be pretty similar to a figure except=20
that the environment is changed.  I wonder if it would be enough=20
to allow an :environment attribute to an image?

Marginnotes.  I don=E2=80=99t think we have a concept like this.  I guess=20
it would be an attribute to a footnote.  Which you incidentally=20
asked about.  Would you use more than one type of footnotes in a=20
single document?

Perhaps one could define footnote types, e.g. we now have [fn:N]=20
pointing to a footnote.  [xx:] could point to a note of type XX.=20
Of course what does this mean outside of LaTeX?  Perhaps an=20
explicit margin note would be more feasible.  I don=E2=80=99t know if this=
=20
is general interest though...

I don=E2=80=99t understand the difference between margin notes and=20
sidenotes from a 10 seconds skim.

Thanks,
Rasmus
