My only comment is that we should not cast in concrete the usage of
UUID. It should be something generic, allowing for URN/URI-s as well.
Although not really relevant for annotations, but communities may have
their own identifier schemes (in the case of publishing people may
want to use ISBNs or DOIs, all of these have URN/URI equivalents).

annotating--by which I mean a sign-up process to some service "on the
Web" which will give the annotator a "namespace" in which to create
(future-use-ready) dereferencable URLs...but at the cost of the
sign-up, terms of service, pre-annotation process requirement, etc,
etc.
