I guess so :)  I was just trying to solve one problem: how to have multiple
things, which each look like an annotation, be wrapped up together in a
single "annotation".

To go back to first principles of what Lutz wants to do, interspersed with
my comments:

So the lowest level target is the XML document.

oa:annotator, oa:annotated and target

And now it gets more tricky.

-- New values seems like a specific change request.  eg Replace the
contents of this element with this new content I provide.  This has come up
in other contexts (eg editing wikipedia via annotation, and Tim Cole's XSLT
actionable change annotations) but hasn't been properly discussed.  Even to
the extent of whether its within the OA framework that this should be
solved or not!

-- Comments are clearly oax:Comment
-- Selection via XPath.

One annotation per comment/change is how OA models these so ...

Finally, an annotation shall be produces, which consists of the collected

This annotation collects the other annotations.


Thus:

CompAnno1 a oax:CompositeAnnotation ;
  oax:hasAnnotation Anno1 ;
  oax:hasAnnotation Anno2 .

Anno1 a oax:Change ;
  oa:hasBody (resource describing new contents for XML)
  oa:hasTarget SpecificResource1 .

Anno2 a oax:Comment ;
  oa:hasBody (resource describing reason for change)
  oa:hasTarget SpecificResource1 .  // or Anno1 would be better?


Although now that I write it all out step by step, it seems like Anno2
could just target Anno1?
