Jonson annotation/collation anchors/notes in modern spelling castlist

CEWBJ has anchors for collation notes and annotation notes in their cast lists. In LEMDO, castlists are stored as part of the teiHeader for modernized spelling editions. Specifically, they are in a listperson @type="castlist" in the particDesc element.
This poses an issue insofar as the teiHeader cannot have anchor tags in it in LEMDO. Typically, LEMDO would place a note about a character name immediately after the first appearance of that character in the text or stage directions. It would be possible to write XSLT to simply move the anchors to those moments. However, in this case at least some of the notes (eg. the collation notes) were specifically about the appearance of the cast list in other editions.
After discussing with JJ and MH, we decided to simply take the content of each of the collation and annotation notes and put them into note elements in the particDesc/listperson/person, immediately following the persName element.
