Markus, one of the co-chairs replied to say: My take on this is to not worry too much about general vs niche at this stage. If you have a use case that has relevance for you as a stakeholder, then add it! While too much niche-ism obviously will not be good in the end, the idea is that the IG use case acceptance process (e.g. taking the status from NEW to ACCEPTED or REJECTED) as well as the forthcoming prioritization exercise, would catch and filter out or at least demote entries that are found to matter to too few. So please if you could write up the use cases, that would be fantastic. Many thanks!

By participating in this exercise we stand to gain a lot of exposure and credibility within the W3C world, and would put us in good standing for any future move to a working group structure. It would also bring our requirements to the attention of the larger W3C working groups such as CSS (for style), SVG (SvgSelector), HTML5 and so forth. >> >> Both Paolo and I are members of the IG, and I volunteered to organize the collection of annotation use cases.
