Sticky notes are added as the last child of BODY. This works for quick UI sketches, but for more complicated UIs with states and/or mobile views, the author probably will want sticky notes that are only visible when a particular state or view is visible. If sticky notes moved from the toolbar to the widget palette, then we could leverage the same techniques we use for choosing the parents of all absolutely-positioned widgets (or similar techniques).

This is related to a larger issue: how to reconcile the annotation tools in review&commenting with similar tools in the page editor:

* Sticky notes is a lot like text annotations in R&C
* The drawing tools coming in M4 (rects, circles, lines, arrows) are a lot like the rectangle, circle and arrow tools in R&C

At this time, I'm not sure about the best UI approaches for unifying these things.
