+An important point here is that the user interface
+only shows the structure that is relevant from the user's point of view.
+A canvas node shows the original PDFs transcluded in the canvas as buoys,
+but the user is not interested in seeing the constituent media blocks of the
annotations.
+For the same reason the annotations on a canvas do not have unique background
textures
+(as the PDF transclusions do), but the whole canvas has a unique background
texture
+based on its identity.
+
+The left-right orientation of the xanalogically linked buoys is determined by
+the direction of the xanalogical link.
+In this prototype, the orientation of a transclusion is fixed so
+that a transcluding canvas is always left of the PDF image block.
