I've just had a go at playing with a local copy. The problem is that  
you haven't assigned a href to the links. I tried adding href="#" and  
it worked.

That's why I say you should put it on the link, not on the span,  
adding the following improved the output:
a.popup:hover {
     z-index : 2;
}

While it would be good to have this in the API I might have a go at  
setting something up using a planet dump if I ever get some spare time.

Again, nice tool though, I'd been intending to start making lots of  
use of notes, and was thinking I'd have to search through a dump of  
my area's data to find the notes later. This would make things a lot  
easier.
