Another technique, which was used during the middle ages for commentaries,
was to have the commentary in a smaller size *surrounding* the main text.
This is absolutely beastly to typeset, though, so it isn't done much these
days.  TeX or extremely clever troff could do it, I suppose...

It does gove a very nice even texture to the page, but I don't know how
easy it actually is to read.
