I like this idea and will try to implement it.  However, where to store 
the followup note is difficult to determine - how about inserting it 
directly after the CLOSED time stamp?  This may be not be perfect 
because it will be before any other information in the entry, but I 
find it even more difficult to have it at the end of a possibly very 
long subtree of reference data.
