Myself, I think that would be more in line with an appendix-section.... since the entries themselves could clearly be stating factual information about the subjects themselves. Once you get into essays (especially when it comes to UNIT continuity), there tends to be reconciling and so forth .... and since facts are what we're looking for, bending them to suit purposes would be better served in the back-section. As far as they go, though, I think they'd be a nice addition -- the same way that the Cartmel-Masterplan document was put in the back of the original "History of the Universe" volume.
