True, they are reference implementations, however even reference 
implementations can have quirks. But you are right, it is important 
that our software can interoperate with Amaya and the W3C annotea 
server. I know that there is at least one other server implementation. 
Perhaps we should take a look at that one too? We also could contact 
the developers/admins of the W3C annotea server. We also have to get 
the Amaya developers to fix those crashes.

You are right about that. Perhaps we can sort out these problems 
somehow. (But never mind, I will adapt my own server code so that it 
works with Annozilla anyway.)

I will be able help (as far as I can) in two weeks. Right now I don't 
have enough time.

By the way, is there someone else reading this Mailinglist? I would 
really like to hear more opinions.
