This would make sense in case I could notify the source of
the variation. Say you have a bunch of informant games
annotated by the respective players and the same game
annotated by your local club mate. Probably, you'd like at
least to tell apart which ! or ? was by Kasparov and which
by your local club mate. (That is, by proceeding as you
suggest the Annotator-Tag in the header is not sufficient
anymore.)
But you're right, to solve my actual problem it would almost
do indeed. Still, I see not how I can accomplish it in Scid.
