That would give me a much better idea of whether or not it should be examined further at this time (if markups indicate we'll only get such field-verification a week before ship date, effort needs to be made to supply a product that could be field-cut to work in a variety of conditions; if this isn't possible, it'd be nice to know so we can push for more information or find a different way to deal with things).
Also, I've seen, in he past five years, maybe two sets of markup drawings where it was immediately obvious which level / company had done them. If everyone could either initial their notes, use a distinct color scheme, whatever, that would greatly simplify many things.
