The only glaring edge-case is a situation in which a "2 TYPE tngnote"
section is followed by *no* NOTE, followed by a section that *isn't*
a "2 TYPE tngnote" that *does* have a NOTE that shouldn't be touched
such as

2 TYPE tngnote
9 TIM FAKE ANNOTATION this tngnote has no NOTE
2 TYPE granola
2 NOTE Don't touch granola-type notes or
3 CONC rewrap their content or add <div>s!

In such a case, it will wrap the NOTE even though it's in a different
TYPE that shouldn't be touched because it's the first NOTE after a "2
TYPE tngnote", even though it's in a different section.

So that's where I'd focus my checking :-)
