...furthermore, you can always correct the accident by either escaping your
editorial note with a backslash like this:

    Condi said, "\[The President] loves his job."

...or by simply giving your implicit "The President" links elsewhere in the
text an explicit name like this:

    I think [The President][1] tells bad jokes.
	Blah blah blah.
	
	  [1]: http://bushisdumb.com

Having given it a bit more thought, I really like the idea of [implicit
links] without empty brackets.  The simplified syntax will prove useful most
of the time, and in those rare cases when it clashes with '[ed. notes]' the
problem can easily be fixed.

+1 !
