ideas for adding an annotation to an ebook

If a person wanted to add some information into a file, like a brief update about something, what would be a good way to stylize it so that it was sufficiently distinct? To be specific, the update would interrupt the main text.

I personally surround the text in a box to offset it from the surrounding text.

I posted a sample EPUB in Post #5 and linked to an example of a variation (gray box) in Post #10:

You can see sample images of it in action as well. I think it works quite well.

There are also a few more examples given in that topic.
