I will be revising the annotation spaces proposal over the next couple of weeks for discussion by the working group. SPARQL/OWL (when I get round to *that* spec...sigh) will have clear support for grabbing annotations of all sorts. Obviously, you can easily use xpath et al to grab annotations from the XML syntax. Feedback on annotations is most welcome. They are critical to so many applications! Cheers, Bijan.
