Douay-Rheims notes?

I've had a request to include the notes from the Douay-Rheims Bible. My source text has summaries at the beginning of each book and chapter. For example, before Genesis it says:
This book is so called from its treating of the GENERATION, that is, of the creation and beginning of the world. The Hebrews call it BERESITH, from the Word with which it begins. It contains not only the history of Creation of the world; but also an account of its progress during the space of 2369 years, that is, until the death of JOSEPH.
Before Genesis 1 it says:
God createth Heaven and Earth, and all things therein, in six days.
If the person who made the original request is reading this, are these the notes you're interested in? Or is there something else?

If anyone else has an opinion about this, please let me know via a comment or email.

Update 12/10: I am looking to add general notes functionality in the v2.1+ timeframe (next update will be 2.0). I'll look into adding the Douay notes then.
