We don't have an easy way for remote actors to annotate content on the 
Fediverse.

The biggest use case for this is to have permissionless fact-checking or 
community notes. A fact-checking service could annotate a remote content 
object like a Note or a Video with additional fact-checking information, 
and compliant clients or servers could show the fact-checking 
information when showing the Note.

I think there are some tricky parts to this structure, which I believe 
suggests that we should start working on it.
