We don't have a position, but they are useful when you have lots of code
or the like to refer back to.

I've used them when documenting the (former) Red Hat CMS product.

He actually did some up for us way back when.  They look the standard
callouts in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/images/callouts,
with a soft dropshadow on them.

I'll figure out their disposition and, if possible, put them in CVS.
Otherwise, Thomas can use the standard ones in the meantime.

account set to watch kwade at redhat.com in bugzilla.redhat.com, so now I
have my own personal Google search tool. :)
