Unfortunately still broken. Hasn't worked for any number i tried.

Doesn't work. Give no result on any page. That's a pity, it was a good idea.

I would really appreciate it if the same value was annotated only once in a given page. Also, an interactive element to temporarily disable entries which mess up the readability would be nice.
