The annot-file-per-source-file seemed the first thought, but on second
thought it works better in one file

It's literate programming meets Web 2.0 if it happened in the browser ;)

The relationship between text in the buffer and actual file

could hack SciTE so that the save-to-file went through a Lua filter.
Annotations provide a nice visual indication of this.
