Maintenance and upkeep of text insets

["Anita Legsdin" <anita -dot- legsdin -at- watchmark -dot- com>]

I tried to post the following twice on FrameUsers, but it still hasn't come through. So, I'm cross-posting here. Non-Frame users, go ahead and delete this. 

I'd like opinions and experiences from those of you who use FrameMaker text insets extensively. For insets that do not begin with a main heading, how do you identify the content so that all users who share the inset know what it is? I've thought of the following possibilities:
  1. Title or subject information printed in header or footer, on master page
  2. Information kept on reference pages
  3. Title or subject information included in a comment marker
  4. File name describes content 

Are there other solutions? What are the pros and cons of your system? Also, how do you keep track of where the inset is used?
