Re: Annotate an image fragment inside a html page

Hello

Interesting. There has been some discussion about this in the context of
the MediaFragment WG, targeting both arbitrary shaped regions and moving
regions. I have also proposed a syntax that relies on SVG syntax:
https://github.com/oaubert/mediafragment-prototype/ 
There could be a common base emerging from these approaches.

Regards,
Olivier
